This will be the first use of OneNet by the board of Regents and the first time such a wide range of timely information is available to the whole state through public libraries, school libraries, and academic libraries. The copyrighted database, which can't be accessed through the Internet, is only part of what OCLC offers, and details have been worked out with them. Any searches not used during a year can be added to next year. We will seek funding for next year also. FirstSearch will be available to state officials, legislative staff, etc.
Video production is hoped for in the future.
Access is available through our Web page. Susan mentioned that there would be a demonstration following today's meeting. Tom next asked about the 612 journals, and the fact that some were monthly and does Firstsearch include one month or what. Bob said that it included the full run of the magazine as far back as OCLC could purchase. Susan expanded to say it depended on how long they have the magazines in electronic format.
