     The Network Services Librarian position will be the key to
the success of the Libraries' networking efforts.  This
individual will have a background in librarianship and practical
experience with LANs, and will be responsible for all aspects of
expanding the Libraries' resources and functions to make them
easily accessible by faculty and students.  At present, our
Systems Office consists of three employees whose responsibilities
and demands can not encompass the enormous task of planning the
networking of the Libraries.  The addition of the Network
Services Librarian will concentrate our efforts in one individual
with the specific expertise now lacking in our organization.
