A cooperative effort between the libraries at Mississippi State and at Mississippi University for Women has earned both institutions recognition in a national publication. The system has been on-line since January. Stephen Cunetto, systems administrator at Mitchell Memorial Library, says the Data Research system provides greater flexibility and efficiency. Sharing the system with Mississippi University for Women offers a financial savings to both institutions, Cunetto explained, and it offers better service to library patrons.
Patrons can search the holdings of two libraries at once.
