Online Reference and Document Delivery Service Library Network.
Cutright, Patricia J.; Edvalson, Terry
The Online Reference and Document Delivery Service Library Network developed at Eastern Oregon State College and operated in Eastern Oregon provides rural east Oregonians improved access to information sources via computers, telefacsimile, and telecommunications. Microcomputers have been placed in public, school, community college, and hospital libraries in the 10-county region served by the college. The absence of library support has been a problem for students in off-campus college programs, so library personnel proposed a computer-based interactive online database searching and telefacsimile network. Services and benefits include: comprehensive, current awareness, known-item, and brief topic searches; telefacsimile transmission of documents; improved library reference services; cooperative collection development efforts; and electronic mail service. The project has been replicated at other schools successfully. Various items documenting project usage are appended. Contains 11 references. (Author/SM)
