THE

Electronic
library,virtuallibrary,cyberlibrary
...
these
terms
for
repositories
of
information
are
receiving
increasing
attention
in
both
professional
and
popular
publications.
Regardless
of
the
terminology,
the
idea
of
a
library
is
rapidly
changing.
However,
despite
enthusiasm
for
electronic
resources,
publishing
will
trend tranditional continue
international
formats
and
there
will
be
use
of
our
traditional collections
for
a
long
time
to
come.
Recognizing
this
duality,
the
strategic
planning
document,
Establishing
a
Library
for
the
Year
2000
(http;//voxlibris.claremont.edu/
Library2000.html)
balances
an
emphasis
on
the
electronic
library
with
acknowledgment
of
the
continued
need
for
support
of
the
traditional
library.
fom Venturing
into
new
technologies
is
not
foreign to
the
Libraries;
we
are
now
in
our
fourth
decade
applying
technology/computing
to
improving
services
to
our
community
In
fact,
technological
advances
play
an
increasingly
important
role
in
the
libraries' mission,
is
directed
toward
actively
contributing
to
learning
and
teaching
at
The
Colleges.
Central
to
this
mission
is
collecting
all connecting information
resources
in
all formats,
making
connections
to
other
collections,
both
traditional
and
electronic,
and
providing
guidance
in
the
use
of
all
types of
information
resources.
This
increasingly
significant
last
element - guidance
lncludes
teaching
our
community
to
locate,
access,
analyze,
and
synthesize
information
more
effectively.
The
importance
of
guidance,
i.e.,
facilitating
learning,
was
collaborated
in
a
survey
last
spring
of
students,
faculty,
and
staff
at
The
Collges.
The
survey
was
designed
to
elicit
opinIons
of
our
electronic
resources.
Although
respondents
declared
that
access
from
home
and
24
hour
availability
are
great,"
a
surprising
number
pressed
a
preference
for
using
electronic
resources
in the
of
the
library
buildings.
Their
reasons?
Several
respondents
noted
that
doing
their
bibliographic
research
in
the
Libraries
puts
them
closer
to
the
books
and
journals
that
they
discover
through
electronic
resources.
Even
at
numbers
attested
to
the
desirability
of
having
assistance
close
at
hand
when
using
the
databases.
Library
staff
meet
this
need
by
helping
our
users
find
the
right
resources
as
well
information available as
instructing
them
in
filtering
through
the
wealth
of
information available to
them.
It
is
important
to
point
0ut
that
the
comments
from
survey
also
suggestion that
improvements
are
needed
but
in
the
technologies
we
employ
and
in our
ability
to
deliver
information
and
services
that
our
users
expect
and
need
Not
surprisingly,
several
respondents
mentioned
the
absolute
necessity
for
providing
systems systems that
are
easier
to
use
and
for
the
Libraries
to
offer
even
more
instruction
and
assistance
in
accessing
databases.
One
big
step
in
the
direction
of
simplifying
access
is
Ovid,
0
r
new
database
access
system
described
on
page
4
of
this
newsletter.
You
will
hear
much
more
about
Ovid
in
the
coming
weeks.
As
the
libraries'
continue
to
change,
we
remain
committed
to
facilitating
learning
and
teaching
at The
Colleges
by
continuing
to
develop
and
offer
one - on
one
and
group
instruction
in
the
use
of
all
types
of
information
resources.
Whether
information
is
available
in
print
or
in
electronic
format,
the
Libraries'
teaching
and
instruction
have
a
single
goal-to
enable
our
users
to
make
the
necessary
intellectual
connections
to
create
knowledge.
A
progressive
electronic
library
supported
by
the
foundation
of
an
exceptional
traditional
library
will
enable
Claremont
Colleges
students,
faculty,
and
staff
to
gain
the
full
educational
benefits
provided
by
these
Libraries
as
we
move
toward
the
year
2000.

all
It'

rve

i
for

whenever

ger
I'm
a
librarian,
he
or
she
responds,
·Oh,
you
must
get
a
lot
of
reading
done."
In
fact,
the
only
reading
I
get
done
during
my
work
day
is
the
reading
of
my
e-mail,
and
I
barely
have
ti
e
for
that.
Even
at

my

here

are
fragmentary,
fllled
with
interrupted

and

improvisations.
Grace

title
sums
it
up:
E"ormous
Changes

I've
come
to
see
myself
as
a
whirling
dervish,
a
specialist
at
the
hypnotic
spinning
art,
spinning
from

Other

I'm
more

ball,
unable
to
resist
the
forces
that
ricochet
me
from

never
getting
to
rest

take

look
at

typical

typical
day.
7:42
A.M,
Since

until
8:00,
I
enter
the
building
through
the
back
doors.
I'd
hoped
to
get
here
even
earlier
since
I
have
a
class
at
8:20,
but
I
stUl
have
time
to
be
sure
all
is
ready
by
the
time
the
students
arrive.
8:19A.M.
The
classroom
is
set
up
to
demonstrate
databases,
handouts
are
copied,
relevant
reference
books
have
been
ga
ered.
WWle
I
wait
for
the
class
to
arrive,
I
have
a
minute
to
catch
my
breath.
And
it's
a
good
thing.
These
first-year
students
are
consideringissuesofgeoderinthe
Renaissance
and
will
soon
begin
working
on
a
research
project.
Somehow,
in
t
e
next
hour,
we're
going
to
get
a
brief
introduction
to
the
Lib
ari
s,
develop
search
strategies
to
use
with
Blais
and
a
couple
of
other
relevant
databases,
look
at
a
few
important
reference
books
and
s
me
primary
source
materials,
and,
if
there's
time,
at
least
aLk
over
to
current
periodicals.
9:32
A.M.
Class
done,
I
say
goodbye
to
the
professor,
catch
my
breath
again,
and
walk
toward
my
office.
This
is
a
risky
proposition,
for
on
the
way
Ues
the
great
mine
field
of
the
search
center,
where
r
know
there
will
be
students
or
faculty
needing
help.
And
sure
enough,
though
it's
not
yet
mid-
morning,
the
joint
is
jumping.
As
soon
as
I
fini
h
help
g
someone
on
Lexis/Nexis,
1
attract,
like
a
magnet,
others
who
need
help.
9:53
A.M
I
finally
make
it
to
my
desk!
My
plans:
try
to
catch
up
with
approval
book
slips-pieces
of
paper
that
make
it
easy
to
order
books
aut
aticaUy.
At
2:
151
have
an
appointment
with
a
student,
and
at
3:00
I'm
on
the
refi
nce
desk,
but
that
leaves
the
entire
morning
to
go

On

to
deliver

I
encounter
a
young
woman
with
e
es
tbat
say
she's
lost.
The
librarian-instinct
within
me
works
agai
st
my
better
judgment
and
forces
me
to
ask
if
she
needs
help.
She's
a
senior
and
(as
Dave
Barry
says,
•...
and
I'm
not
making
this
up")
this
is
her
first
time
in
the
library.
Could
I
help
her
find
journal
articles
on
Eugene
O'Neill
(author's
name
changed
to
protect
the
not-so
innocent)?
I
lead
her
to
MIA
on
CD-ROM
and
spend
a
few
minutes
explaining
how
to
use
it.
She
re
its:
isn't
there
an
easier
way?
Well,
not
really.
After
I
leave
her,
I
encounter
a
colleague
who
asks
if
I'm
on
my
way
to

fully
intending
to
spend
an
bour
with
those

An
hour
won't
suffice,
but
it's
stUl
a

of
time-or
it
would
be
a
solid
block
of
time
if
I
could
prevent

a

A

I
try
to
be
gentle,
but
he
persists-surely
this
is
something
the
Claremont

Not
two
minutes
after
I
hang
up,
the
phone
rings
again:
a
faculty
member
at
he
reference
desk
wants
to
see
me;
he
intends
only
to
hand
me
some
publishers'
catalogs
he
wants
me
to
look
through.
Softly,
I
tip-toe
outside;
quickly,
I
take
the
catalogs,
whispering
my
thank
you.
Softly,
I
tum
on
my
heels,
and
look
at
the
distanc
between
me
and
my
office:
a
wide
gulf.
As
it
turns
out,
an
unbridgeable
distance,
because
they
know
me,
they
recognize
me
as
someone
who

help
them.

Well!
My
2:15
appointment
has
come
and
gone
and
here
I
am,
officially
on
the
rd
renee
desk.
One
odd
thing,
tbough,
about
this
phrase,
·on
the
reference
desk":
the
preposition
is
wrong.
It'severytbing
but·on"the
referen
e
desk:
it's
around
the
refere
ce
desk,
it's
to
the
sides
of
the
reference
desk,
it's
behind
the
reference
desk,
it's
in
front
of
the
reference
desk.
Most
of
the
time
I
don't
even
see
the
reference
desk.
Reference
is
a
dance,
a
square
ance
with
ut
a
caller.
And
the
next
a
and
a
half
hours-for
I
am
there
helping
patro
s
untU
after
five
o'doc
-go
by
in
a
blaze.
It
may
sound
like
I'm
complaining,
but
I'm
not.
I
love
every
mlnute.
This
is
what
I
chose
to
do;
and
if
trut
be
told,
I
love
even
the
disorder.
A
thrilling
variety
is
the
job
of
a
reference
librarian:
advising
students
on
resources,
helping
to
formulate
search
strategies,
finding
answers
to
what
may
at
first
seem
unanswerable
questions.
There
are
piles
of
paper
waiting
for
me
on
my
desk
and
some
will
be
waiting
for
a
while.
And
I'd
be
burnt
out
by
now
if
I
weren't
getting
my
kicks
right
here
on
