Although the University Libraries currently have no administrative authority over the Hershey Medical Center library, we are identifying increased areas of cooperation and collaboration. We have maintained a document delivery service between the two locations for four years. Our health sciences librarian has participated in assessment activities at Hershey and served on the search committee for the new Hershey Library director. The Dean and others communicate regularly with their administration. Make it easier to know what AV resources there are.
Patrons can access the records for AV information by title, subject, and author.
Have manuscript holdings online. Four years ago the Libraries hired a manuscripts cataloger. To date she has cataloged nearly 900 manuscript and archival collections, resulting in an increased demand for these collections. Information about these collections also is available on OCLC and RLIN so that scholars throughout the world know about their existence. The Libraries also subscribe to Archives USA, a web-based index to archives throughout the U.S. Lockers are needed.
