Back Issues 2000 March College and Research Libraries March 2000, Vol. 61, No. 2 Editorial Joint-Use Libraries: Thinking Out of the Box In a sense, the joint use of libraries by different types of patrons is not new. Since their beginning, public libraries have been serving all community constituents. Libraries serving both schools and the public have been with us for decades. These endeavors have generally been straightforward in nature and meaning. Realizing More from Collective Efforts The decision to engage in a joint-use library partnership is made for a number of reasons, including economies of scale, cost savings, efficiencies, greater depth/breadth in the collection, and improved services. Joint-use libraries can realize more via collective efforts than they can through independent efforts. The quality and quantity of services, for example, can increase dramatically for both constituents. Two entities can build a larger library than a single entity can. Evolving technology is providing fodder for the case for more joint-use libraries. Shared databases, computing labs, multimedia centers, teaching/learning and literacy classrooms, and compressed video centers are examples of components that can be shared in a joint-use academic–public library. The days are over when any library can lay claim to having its own crown jewels. The emphasis has to be more focused on improving services, rather than boasting about a library’s inventory count. Sharing a single library between two or more entities certainly makes good sense, particularly when one considers how best to offer more and better services for the users.

24. Maximizing Liberty In Natural Resources Use And Urban Planning also want to come together in order to do those things they can only do as a groupto manufacture and to shop, to use and to enjoy libraries, exhibitions and http://www.libertyandlaw.org/4enviro.html

Environment and Planning Natural Resources Use The Natural Resources are natural. By their very definition they are not man-made, and are therefore not inherently associated with or attributable to any individual. But people need to use natural resources for food, shelter, raw materials and recreation, and must therefore make claims upon resources which do not naturally and inherently belong to them. Thus it is clear that rights to the use of natural resources must be created or apportioned. Various solutions have been found and practiced through the ages: the law may leave individuals to fight out claims amongst themselves, perhaps with a resulting tenure by a few influential families; the law may attempt a fair and productive apportionment; or the State (or dictator or monarch) may take total resources ownership into its own hands. In the older nations of Europe, the king claimed ownership of all the lands within his kingdom, awarding lands and titles to those whose financial support enabled him to build castles, enhance his royal lifestyle and fight foreign wars. In the New World, colonial governments assumed overall title to all land and natural resources, then gave much of it away, in plots to those who would settle and farm, or in large tracts to the railroad barons.

Washington Association of County Law Libraries Our Mission County law libraries in Washington State were established in 1919 by RCW 27.24 to provide access to legal information to the courts and the bar, and also to the public in counties which have the staff available to assist the public. It is our collective mission to provide the best possible service to our communities, by connecting people to the information they need to effectively participate in the justice system. We do this by maximizing available resources through our in-house collections of legal materials in print and in CD-ROM, through resource sharing with other libraries, through Internet resources, and through referral to other agencies as needed. We strive to serve as a community access point for legal information. The Washington Association of County Law Libraries is a partner in the Washington State Access to Justice Network Association Profile Who We Are: Staff at county law libraries include librarians, library assistants, court personnel, and volunteers. Each law library is governed by a board of trustees comprised of volunteers from the courts and legal community. Some staff are members of the American Association of Law Libraries , division of , and also the Special Libraries Association Legal Division.

TWIST Faculty Application Form Spring Semester 2004 Please read these TWIST Program guidelines. The goals of the TWIST Program are to encourage the use of information technology to enhance learning, facilitate the use of authoritative information resources, and provide important links for faculty and students to library expertise and resources. The TWIST staff and librarians are available to provide assistance to instructors in the creation and use of TWIST-supported web sites. Each TWIST faculty member will be paired with a librarian to develop a course-specific resource page for their course web site. Librarians are available to provide course-related instruction on the use of information resources selected for TWIST sites. TWIST staff will advise faculty and their TAs on upcoming TWIST workshops, Web Clinics, ITS courses, and other instruction opportunities. In some cases TWIST staff can arrange for customized training sessions for TAs and/or faculty beyond these other offerings. TWIST operates under the following guidelines: TWIST staff provides instruction and training to help faculty learn how to create and maintain their course web sites. However, staff and library technological resources are not sufficient for TWIST to provide day-to-day web site maintenance or production work on a permanent basis, nor do they allow TWIST to be a production center for complex multimedia production.

SERVICES PROGRAMS PRESS PUBLICATIONS ... CONTACT Illinois State Library tracer(" > ", "home.html","tracergrey","smblack","smblack"); GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR ILLINOIS LIBRARIES Libraries are in transition from being only place-bound warehouses of library materials to also serving as facilitators of access to information, without regard to location. Shared principles which will guide the continued growth and development of Illinois library service through this time of rapid and profound change are as follows: Libraries and Reading An important role for the library continues to be stimulating children to become lifelong learners and lovers of books and reading. Librarians need to encourage people of all ages to enjoy the pleasures and to understand the necessity of reading. Access to Information Information is the key to successful living and libraries are the primary access points to information. There is a general awareness of the value of information and its potential to empower the individual. Libraries create equal information opportunities, enabling every citizen in Illinois, whether urban or rural, to realize their right to access information. Libraries have a commitment to inform and educate the public, and libraries help people make informed decisions. Librarians are the primary guides to information resources and facilitators for their use. The exponential growth in information underscores the importance of the use of technological advances in addressing users’ patrons' needs. Although opportune use of new technologies is a key mechanism for improving information access, knowledgeable and enthusiastic library personnel are essential to timely and accurate information retrieval.

Ronald Williams Library Northeastern Illinois University Ronald Williams Library Acceptable Use Policy Public Access to Electronic Information Networks Electronic Networks and the Library's Mission Libraries make it possible for citizens to have access to the information they need to make informed decisions. As a member of the Illinois Library and Information Network (ILLINET), Northeastern Illinois University's Ronald Williams Library is committed to networking which represents good public policy by maximizing the use of the resources of all types of libraries. Every library user benefits from expanded access to information beyond the four walls of a single library building. NEIU uses electronic information networks such as the Internet for a variety of purposes: access to shared automation systems that provide bibliographic access to the collections of the local library and libraries in the region and across the state access to general and specialized shared licensed databases available to ILLINET member libraries through local, regional and statewide programs Relationship to Other Library Policies NEIU's Policy for Access to Electronic Information Networks is part of the library's overall policy structure and should be interpreted in conjunction with other existing policies.

Skip Navigation Michigan.gov Home HAL Home Site Map ... HAL Press Releases Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries Our Mission To enrich quality of life for Michigan residents by providing access to information, preserving and promoting Michigan's heritage, and fostering cultural creativity. One of the hallmarks of a progressive, free, and well-rounded society is the access its citizens have to resources that promote and develop a knowledge and appreciation of history, literature, and the arts. Such a society has a well-educated and informed citizenry that is aware of its civic duties and able to apply a diverse and wide range of knowledge to solve common problems and improve the quality of life for all. In 2001, Governor John Engler and the Michigan Legislature created the Department of History, Arts and Libraries (HAL) to bring a focus to such efforts in the state. Comprised of five agencies that were previously dispersed throughout state government, the new Department unifies the state's efforts to develop and promote its arts, culture, and heritage resources. It also provides for a coordination and synergy of efforts between groups promoting and conducting such activities, thereby maximizing the effective use of resources and the impact of these efforts. Among the many positive economic benefits this approach provides is the ability to effectively market Michigan's cultural tourism industry in a single outreach for all heritage and cultural resources. The single focus of HAL also promotes stronger and coordinated efforts to identify, preserve, explore, and display to the public cultural events and the many historic sites, archives, and collections of information, art, artifacts, and literature available in the state, especially those that focus on Michigan - from century-old census records in Lansing to one of Michigan's crown jewels: Mackinac Island State Park.

She said this might have been due in part to the fact that CIRCA was closed. Gary Cornwell suggested that weekend hours might need to be revised next semester. Carol Drum said current staffing didn't allow for extending hours on Saturdays. To do that, an extra circulation person would need to be added. Carol Turner said she had been visited by a graduate student who pointed out that evenings, weekends and intercessions were when the graduate students were most able to use the libraries. She suggested that there might be more support for shifting hours if it was to benefit graduate students. Gary said that intercessions were the times the libraries were least used. Carol Drum also said that intercession was the only time the circulation staff took vacation time and that to increase hours during intercession would hurt the staff. It was agreed that the priority was to extend the Saturday hours.

Attainment of this objective "will help make existing systems and those systems that will be developed more efficient and cost effective." ARL's Committee on Access to Information Resources is charged with carrying out this objective. The Access Committee in 1991 prepared and discussed with the ARL membership a white paper, "The Evolution of Electronic Resource Sharing." From that ensuing discussion, the Committee identified three priority activities, one of which is:

To: UW-Madison Faculty, Scientists, and Researchers From: Ken Frazier, Director, UW-Madison Libraries Subject: Journal subscription cuts Date: September 6, 2001 This year, for the first time, all the libraries of the University of Wisconsin System are working together in a concerted effort to cancel high-cost journal subscriptions. The cuts are necessary because library budgets will remain flat during the next biennium while the cost of library materials continues to increase. With the cost of journals rising by at least 9% libraries have no choice but to make significant cuts in journal collections. Our goal is to minimize duplication of expensive titles to maintain the overall strength of the combined UW collections. UW-Madison libraries will retain access to journal literature in most subject areas, but we must cancel a large number of expensive journals from commercial publishers such as Elsevier, Wiley, Kluwer and Springer. Faculty members are being asked for input as librarians begin work on this difficult task. In spite of budgetary and price issues, we continue to pursue convenient online access for high-demand/high-use journals. For example, we recently acquired a license for

Access to Large Digital Libraries of Scientific Information Across Networks [1] Graduate School of Library and Information Science, The University of Tennessee [2] Center for Information Studies, The University of Tennessee and Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. 1. Introduction The University of Tennessee submitted a proposal in conjuction with the University of Pittsburgh in response to NSF's Digital Library Initiative. The primary concern of the proposal is the information content of digital libraries and its usefulness and meaning to multiple user communities. As digital information resources available via interconnected networks proliferate, what can be done to facilitate the identification, selection, retrieval and delivery of needed information content to users, in form and medium preferred, in a cost-effective manner? How can we improve the ability of access mechanisms to extract relevant content, reduce duplication, analyze conflict and present information content in an optimum manner consistent with the users' needs and preferences? Information access mechanisms are complex in scope. For purposes of this paper they contain the following interrelated components: * Provide access to collections of multimedia information built upon the integration of text, image, graphics, audio, video (and other continuous media)
