A technological leader from the beginning, its library never owned a card catalog. In the past two decades, the library has continued to build on this tradition, and today it owns an unusually large microform collection exceeding one million pieces. Many of its microform holdings are accessible via its on-line catalog, are listed in OCLC and are a popular source for ILL requests. With its DRA system, the library also has moved well beyond its roots. Far along, indeed.
Users learn it quickly, and it's simple to use.
We like the graphic interface DRA provides and the networked accessibility. It helps us do our job more easily. Using DRA Web as a base, Johnson notes that plans include a centralized Internet resource that will help make the UTPB library page a launching point for numerous electronic reference resources such as employment opportunities or government services, as well as an on-line catalog. DRA Web handles the new MARC 856 fields beautifully. Our patrons click on the 'Electronic Access' hot key in the on-line catalog listing for our electronic journals.
