The big news is that the library now provides access to over sixty major databases via FirstSearch . This is a major acquisition which will benefit NHU students greatly. We are currently using Winnebago 4.0 for our in-house library catalog and plan to begin using it to check out materials soon.
Some new computers are on the way, as well as some other updates.
We will soon be using using an advanced system for Inter-Library Loan, which will make it easier for students to access information not available at NHU or San Jose State. The link with SJSU is working well, and students are requesting material from the SJSU library through the NHU librarian. The NHU book collection stands at about 10,000 volumes, with discarded books available in the student lounge for students to keep. We recenly donated about 100 discarded books to the County Jail library. A plan for some major book acquisitions is in the works.
