The resulting images, maps, and texts are available for linking from course Web sites and syllabi and for utilization in class presentations. The searching capability of the Ad Hoc Digital Library will eventually facilitate the identification and use of these images and texts. The Ad Hoc Digital Library, based on a server in the Divinity Library, has technical features that enhance its use. Texts can be displayed in a book-like graphical format that improves their readability. Images appear with identifying information and can be displayed in a standard size or in their original size.
Faculty members can add commentary to images and texts directly from their home or office.
Room Transformed Recent visitors to the Main Reference Room in Sterling Memorial Library will have noticed a number of dramatic changes and improvements, the most obvious of which is the room's new look. Over the last eighteen months, construction crews have installed a new floor, replaced carpeting and shelves, cleaned both the wood ceiling and surrounding stone work, and repaired water damage. As the project nears completion, electrical work continues in the Annex, where crews will install a microfiche reader and cabinets and oak reading shelves. Not all of the improvements are immediately visible. These ports will allow those with registered Yale network IDs to access the Yale Campus Network, including all of the library's electronic resources, and the Internet.
