The videos are circulating and are educational in nature. Readers' Services also contains materials dealing with these same subjects in the regular circulating collection. The collection provides patrons with access to the widest scope possible on topics ranging from grants to foundations to prospect research to governance to board member duties to job opportunities. Some of the ways in which the collection deals with materials are by geography, by subject and by use. The users may be from outside Allen County as well as Allen County residents.
Print material includes book, periodicals, pamphlets, annual reports, and clippings.
The Taft Group CD-ROM is for use by patrons and librarians and is searchable by foundation, location, subject and other areas. These can be bundled to create individualize reports for the patron using the service. The Foundation Center has their own CD-ROM as part of the core collection. The Internet, Infotrac and Dialog can also provide nonprint access to information. Periodicals are kept current and preceding.
