OUR CATALOG IS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB, via NETPAC!

Any one any where any time may now find out via the World Wide Web what books, videos, and other items are in our catalog since 1990 (and also in sofar as our retrospective conversion is completed). For example, a complete list of our journal holdings can be viewed under the subject heading "journals." In the near future, we will be joining this effort with those of Greeneville-Greene County Public Library and Walters State Community College. You may now access our catalog via the TC home page or at http://tusculum.library.net

Helpful visitor and visit:

Ms. Celia Szarejko, ETSU Systems Librarian and president of the Association for Libraries in Northeast Tennessee, will be the library's guest on Friday afternoon, Oct. 4. We look forward to her expertise as we begin our SACs preparations. On Monday, Oct. 7, Jack Smith will be meeting with Doug Cross, Librarian of WSCC, in Morristown to review the new "Silver Lining" library automation system marketed by the company hosting our new Web catalog. The process is based on use of the Web.
