MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Communication- Making Connections with Faculty
CONNECTIONS began seven years ago with the goal of improving communication
between the Libraries and faculty members of The Colleges. During this time, articles
have covered a broad range of topics on library resources and services of interest to faculty.
In addition, our intention has been to demonstrate that we are important partners in
enhancing the educational experience of your students. Our desire to fulfill these roles is
congruent with our overall Libraries vision of being " a model for effective provision of
information services and resources and for the effective integration of traditional and
innovative forms of scholarship into the academic programs of our community."
We, as is the case with other major academic libraries, are challenged to maintain
balance between the traditional and the innovative. To maintain this balance in today's
world of rising costs for library materials, difficult and sometimes painful decisions must
be made. For example, elsewhere in this newsletter, you will find a list of proposed journal
cancellations. Unfortunately, despite generous increases to the materials budget in each
of the past several years, our ability to maintain book purchases at a stable level of about
' 14,000 titles per year while responding to opportunities to offer new and exciting forms
of information is dependent upon our being able to control the spiraling costs of our journal
sub~ cription lines. On the positive side, funds from The Colleges fundraising campaign
for the Libraries allow us to experiment with new resources. Some of these are described
in this newsletter in the articles on JSTOR and the databases funded by the Ahmanson
grant.
Given the rapidity of technological change, our need to communicate effectively with
faculty will become even more important. Consequently, we will continue
CONNECTIONS as a semiannual publication, but you can also expect to receive more
" Did You Know ..." e- mail messages, such as the one on faculty renewal of library books,
spotlighting topics of current interest. These " Did You Know..." messages can be found
on the Libraries HomePage ( http:// voxlibris. claremont. edu) under " Library
Information," where you will find available other types of useful information as well.
Specific to communication about development of Libraries collections, I hope that
you will welcome more active patticipation of the subject specialists in your cross- Colleges
disciplinary groups so that we can be more effective in meeting your instructional and
research needs. If you do not know the name of the subject specialist for your discipline,
please call Meg Garrett, Collections Coordinator at ext. 77101. Also, in support of
instruction, we believe that, with funds from the W. M. Keck Foundation and your advice
and help, the Libraries will be able to offer exciting opportunities for improving instruction
in the use of library and information resources for you and your students. Gale Burrow,
Coordinator of Instruction, ext. 73987, will be happy to hear from you with your ideas.
Of course, communication is a two way street, and I hope that you will contact
me at ext. 18045 or at bc/ emens@ rocky. c/ aremont. edu with ideas about ways that librarians
and library staff can be more effective in listening to your needs and in demonstrating what
we have to offer you. m

DENISON HONNOLD/ MUDD SEELEY G. MUDD SCIENCE SPRAGUE Libraries Awarded $ 1 Million Grant From W. M. Keck Foundation
The W. M. Keck Foundation has awarded $ 1 million to The Claremont Colleges to make dramatic changes in the way the libraries fulfill their educational mission in the information age. The grant will support innovative methods for librarians to work with users to enhance teaching and learning.
" We are thrilled with the grant," said Dr. Bonnie Clemens, Director ofThe Libraries of The Claremont Colleges. ' The funds will allow us to take a giant step in creating the kind of library we envision for the Colleges in the 21 st Century.
" Librarians will guide the integration of collaborative, hands- on learning about electronic resources with learning about traditional information resources," explained Clemens. " Students and faculty want to tearn how to find the information they need, and how to evaluate and analyze it. The grant will enable the librarians to playa more substantive role in learning and teaching."
The grant will improve the already impressive stature of the library system by supporting new methods for librarians to work with students, faculty and staff at The Claremont Colleges. The grant will name the W. M. Keck Learning Room, where students and faculty will receive hands- on instruction in the use of information technology. Funds will also be used to develop an innovative " virtual reserve room" on the Libraries' web site.
" We are enormously grateful to the
W. M. Keck Foundation," said Pitzer College President, Marilyn Chapin Massey. Our libraries now will be positioned to provide users a broad universe of technology- based research and information materials."
The Council of Presidel1ls of The Claremont Colleges applied for this grant as an integral component of its $ 7 million capital campaign. which is scheduled to conclude in 1999.
The W. M. Keck Foundation, one of the nation's largest philanthropic organizations, was founded in 1954 by the late W. M. Keck, founder of the Superior Oil Company. The Foundation's grant making is focused primarily on the areas of higher education, medical research, science and engineering. The Foundation also maintains a Southern California Grant Program that provides support in the areas of civic and community services, health care, precollegiate education and the arts; as well as a program for liberal arts colleges. Since its inception, the Foundation has made grants of approximately $ 550 million while growing its assets from $ 250 million to over $ 1 billion today. m.
Electronic Services
Electronic Journals-- Trying Hard to Keep Up
Have you ever needed an article from a journal you know the Libraries subscribe to but they're closed or you just can't make it over to find the issue and copy the article? Do you ever wish that you had access right from your desktop to these publications? Well, scholarly publications are moving faster than you might imagine toward publishing their titles electronically and making them available via the World Wide Web right to your computer.
In the last two years we have seen an explosion in the number of these electronic journals. In the Libraries we are excited about being involved in making these titles available to our users and have already done so with several physics journals. the Project Muse titles ( from Johns Hopkins University Press), journals from AMS and SIAM ( two professional organizations in mathematics), and JSTOR ( a new venture funded by the Mellon Foundation to provide access to back runs of core publications in the social sciences and mathematics). Link to these at http:// Iibrary. claremont. edu/ ejournals. html. Some of our other major journal publishers like Academic Press, Springer, and John Wiley have pledged to make all of their journals available electronically within the year.
Popular magazines are also publishing on the web. At http:// www. pathfinder. com you can find links to magazines like Time, Sports
Illustrated, Fortune, Money, People, and Life. These have the full- text of articles in current issues and often include more than the print publication. Some include sound bites, video clips, and the opportunity to participate in online discussions or opinion polls. The Nation ( http:// www. thenation. com) and The Atlantic ( http:// www. theatlantic. com)
also have web versions of their notable publications.
Ovid, one of our database access providers. is also venturing into the world of electronic journals. Ovid is taking several approaches. One is to provide access to databases which contain the full- text of articles in selected journals. ABI/ lnform, available on the Libraries' Ovid server, contains the full- text of400500
business journals. Since they load only the ASCII text, no charts, graphs, images, pictures or other non- text material is included. Another approach for Ovid is their Core Biomedical Collections which we will be loading over the summer. The CBCs are full image databases providing access to publications in the biomedical sciences. Each CBC - and there are four of themcover
15 or 16 different publications. To take the full- text idea one step further, Ovid's new Full Text Initiative makes avai lable at one site approximately 200 electronic journals in science, technology and medicine from a variety of publishers. These will be loaded as SGML documents and libraries can pick and choose among the titles offered. Other companies such as OCLC and Blackwell offer very similar services. The Libraries as yet have no plans to subscribe to Ovid's Full Text Initiative or those from any other providers.

2/ CONNECTIONS a newsletterfrom the libraries to thefaculty ofThe Claremont Colleges Electronic Course Reserves Debut in Fall 1997
Beginning with the Fall semester, the Libraries will debut an Eilectronic Course Reserve System. This exciting pilot project will make available via the World Wide Web items placed " on reserve" at one of the libraries. Journal articles, book chapters, homework keys and test solutions will be scanned and loaded on a server dedicated to this service. Not all items ( most notably entire books) can be scanned in and loaded on a server, of course. Most material will be saved in pdf- portable document format. Other types of files such as word processing documents and spreadsheets can also be accommodated. We hope to serve multimedia such as video, audio, and slides; we are exploring ways to make these avai. lable through this system also.
Why pdf? Portable Document Format is the format of choice for many fulltext
documents available on the Web today. The U. S. Government uses it heavily as do many electronic journal publishers. PDF files are much smaller in size than either gil' or jpeg images and allow for a multi- page document to be accessed as one , item. The procedure from start to finish of scanning, saving and ftp- ing a pdf file to a server takes just a few minutes, and the system that we have chosen automatically makes the Web link. AU of this translates to less intensive staff time to make available hundreds of documents. To view pdf, you simply download and install the free Acrobat Reader 3. x from the Adobe web site ( http:// www. adobe. com/ prodindex/ acrobatl readstep. html). All four libraries have

view electronic course reserve material;
and since we are using a web- based http:// www. adobe. com/ prodindexl acrobatlreadstep. html
system, all students with networked computers can view, download and/ or
print electronic course reserves from their residence halls and computer labs.
We will be using a system called ERes ( http:// www- test. scu. edu/ eres/) developed by a physics professor at Santa Clara University. Over the summer we hope to begin loading course records into it and should be ready by August to start pUlling the actual reserve items online. ERes allows us to link to URLs on the Web such as faculty home and course pages, automatically updates and links to any new item put on reserve, supports almost any document type and format. and allows for individual courses to be password protected.
We expect to bring online a system for the electronic submission of reserve requests and accompanying materials like syllabi and lecture notes either through email or through the Web. Faculty used to bringing items for reserve to one of the libraries will not notice any change in this procedure. The real change will be enhanced access to the material literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any webenabled
computer or workstation.
Any system we support for Electronic Course Reserves will be limited to Claremont Colleges students, faculty and staff. We are conscious of copyright issues and will be guided by the Fair Use section of the copyright Jaw. Many publishers are concerned about the electronic distribution of their material while libraries are concerned about strict definitions of copyright law and Fair Use when it impacts their ability to provide access to information for their customers. While we wait for these issues to be resol ved, we will use technology to beller serve our customers; and providing electronic course reserves applies technology and uses the Web to enhance and expand a heavily- used and traditional academic library service. mi

3 I CONNECTIONS a newsletterfrom the libraries to thefaculty ofThe Claremont Colleges jSTOR: Electronic Access to Scholarly journals
The Claremont Colleges faculty, staff and students now have " anytime/ anywhere" access to JSTOR, an important and growing collection of backfiles of scholarly journals in electronic format. You may access these journals on the World Wide Web by going either to the Libraries HomePage ( http:// voxl ibris . claremont. ed u) and clicking on " Electronic Resources" and then on " Electronic Journals," or by going directly to JSTOR ( http:// www. jstor. org/) to search, read and print articles. JSTOR ( an acronym for " Journal STORage"), a not- for- profit organization located in New York City, was established to address the needs of scholars, libraries, and publishers to take advantage ofevolving digital technology to preservc and make accessi ble core journal literature. At present, JSTORPhase
I provides access to 19 journals out of it projectcd 100 titles in 10- 15 fields; it is expectcd that thcsc 100 journals will all be acce . ' ible within the next 3 years.
JST R journals are completely browsable, searchable and retrievable over the World Wide Web with any standard browser. JSTOR scans every page of each journal at very high resolution, creating a full database of page images; OCR ( optical character recognition) software is used to build a file that is integrated with Table of Contents indexes; special software has been developed by JSTOR that makes charts, graphs and illustrations clearly readable and printable. In short, no more yellowing or brittle pages of older
journals, no missing volumes or issues or pages from the backfiles. and full text searching always available I This journal collection represents a remarkable. exciting and dramatically improved way to do research in these scholarly journals. Richard C. Levin, President of Yale University, says about the JSTOR project: " Few of the many recent advances in digital information technology hold as much promise for the scholar as JSTOR." ~

Ahmanson Databases
In June 1996, as part of The Colleges Capital Campaign for the Libraries, the Ahmanson Foundation awarded The Libraries a $ 1,000,000 grant. Part of that grant included funds for upgrades for existing systems and subscriptions or licensing for electronic resources. This money has provided The Libraries with the unique opportunity to do some experi- menting with new and innovative technologies for providing services to The Claremont Colleges community.
Very soon you will begin to see the results of the first year's selections appearing in The Libraries and on The Libraries' web server. Some of the services selected for this first year include: Literature Online ( Lion), a web accessible sel of full- text works available in English Poetry, English Drama, African American Poetry, American Poetry, Eighteenth Century Fiction and Early English Prose Fiction; Women

Center For Research Libraries
Available on Blais
One of the great treasures of the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges is located on the south side ofChicago- The Center for Reasearch Libraries. Our membership in CRL allows faculty, students and staff at Claremont access to an enormous depository of rare or expensive items that individual libraries couldn't afford to buy separately. Such materials include non- US dissertations, historical runs of regional and international newspaper, and high- priced microform sets of original documents.
The latest purchases for ' 96-' 97, just approved by CRL members, include much of interest to historians. Included are sections of the Archives of the Church Missionary Society ( archives concerning women as missionaries and CMS activities in Japan, as well as CMS central records); medieval manuscripts at Corpus Christi College at Oxford ( to complement CRL holdings of meclival manuscripts at Trinity Colleges); and runs of Irish newspapers, the Weekly Freeman, Weekly News and Dublin Weekly News, the French L'lllustration ( the world's first photo newmagazine, started in 1843), and the Italian Corriere Della Sera ( an essential record of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century Italy).
You don't have to travel to Chicago to use CRL. RecordS for items such as the above are in BLAIS and access is provided through inter! ibrary loan. If you have any questions, please contact Adam Rosenkranz, History Bibliographer, at ext. 73986 or send email

ElectronicJournals cont'd. from page 2
Pricing of electronic journals varies widely. For 1997, SIAM is making their e- journals available free to those institutions which subscribe to the print versions. On the other hand, the AMS charges about 15% more for subscribing to both print and electronic. Project Muse titles cost less than subscribing to the paper equivalents and the Pathfinder site publications ( Time, Money, etc.) are cun- ently free. The Libraries would like to make as many of these available as we can, but we cannot pay extra in order to provide both print and electronic formats for very long. We expect to have a better idea about the use of and demand for electronic journals after they have been around for a year or so. At that time we will need to work with you to make some hard decisions about subscribing to print versus subscribing to electronic versions of the same journals. ~

Perspectllle
MOllies fOrmed my perceptions of what constitutes a library.
Usually librYtries are depicted as though stuck in some sixteenthseventeenth
century time warp, complete with globes, maps, tail builtin
bookcases with step laaden on rail", ail in cavernous wood- paneiled rooms bathed i/ 1 shafts of late afternoon sun or the glow ofmidnight oil. A good i'xampli'is David Niven sstudy inThe Bishop's Wife. As thi' eponymous bishop, he has a library whil'h is thi' epitome ofel'l'lesiastiml elegana.

/ CONNECTIONS a newsletterfrom the libraries to thefaculty ofThe Claremont Colleges 1996/ 97 Journal Cancellation Listı
In response to severely increasing costs for journals, the subject bibliographers have evaluated the state of their funds and the faculty ratings of the usefulness of certain journal titles to our users in the Claremont Colleges community. The following list of proposed cancellations is the result of this evaluative process. Some subject areas were harder hit than others, and many fields are proposing no cancellations at all. The titles are mainly from the social sciences materials in HonnoldlMudd Library, with thirty- three engineering titles from Sprague also included. Titles marked with an asterisk are now available in electronic format, and the cancellation will only affect the print copy. Electronic journals have the advantage of being available on the World Wide Web to faculty, students, and staff at their own desks or in their own computer centers. Canceling print subscriptions where electronic versions are available will also help reduce staff costs for processing, shelving, and binding, and ultimately save much needed shelf space as well.
Because we know that there are some journals that may be paid from one discipline's funds, but also used for cross- discipline research, we want to provide this opportunity for all faculty on campus to give us feedback on the proposed cancellations. Ifyou do not want to see a title canceled, please mark the title IZJ and return the sheet to Meg Garrett at HonnoldfMudd Library by May 10. Or you can email your comments to mgarrett@ rocky. claremom. edu. We will try to accommodate all requests. but the bibliographer will have the final say to enable responsible management of the funds. Please feel free to contact your subject specialist if you have questions about the titles or the condition of the fund. A list of subject specialists is available on the Libraries' Web page on the " Library Information"
menu.
Canceling journals is never an easy task, but with the invaluable input from the faculty survey, we look on this as a way to keep our collection up- to- date, reflecting changing curriculum needs and research interests. Thanks for your participation in this important project.

Meg Garrett Coordinator of Collection Development Information and Research Services HonnoldfMudd Library Rereading the Past
Special Collections Librarians Meet in Claremont
" Rereading the Past: New Methodologies and Approaches to the History of the Book" is the title of the thirty- eighth annual
Preconference of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries of the American
Library Association to be held at The Claremont Colleges, June 24- 27, 1997.
The Preconference will review how research in the history of the book has developed since the Rare Books and Manuscripts
Section first looked at the subject at the 1980 RBMS Preconference, " Books and Society in History." No longer the sole purview
of the bibliographer and the scholar/ librarian, the field has expanded in ways that many rare book librarians may not yet realize.
Scholars from many disciplines have entered the field and have given new
meaning and purpose to the subject of the history of the book, changing the way
we will view the " Book Age."
How does this new scholarship affect rare book and manuscript librarians
and curators? And how will it influence collection development, programming,
public services, cataloging, teaching, and scholarly research? The program will
look at the new history of the book, hear some of its most innovative scholars,
examine ways in which librarians can take advantage of this burgeoning field for
their own use and development, and discuss ways of servicing and promoting this
interest.
Robert A. Gross, from The College of William and Mary, will be the
keynote speaker. Speakers at plenary sessions are Ellen S. Dunlap, President of
the American Antiquarian Society; Stephen Ferguson, Princeton University;
Jeffrey D. Groves, Harvey Mudd College; Rosalind Remer, Moravian College; and Julian RobeI1s, Bodleian Library, Oxford
