A new office area has been equipped by the Friends enabling more efficient acquisitions and cataloging activities of new books and gift items. A digital copier, videotapes, a tripod, and an audiovisual cart have improved audiovisual services and expanded service options. The newest innovations in the databases include additional links embedded in database articles. These databases can be accessed from campus computers having recognized IP addresses or by dial-up connection. The library has ready-made database exercises from MOREnet for use with students.
Instructors can contact the library for sample exercises for databases in specific curriculum areas.
