2 IV. PRESENTATIONS Libraries of the Future Charles Peguese Mr. Peguese summarized the recent history of libraries, ending with the technological advances with which libraries have entered the 21 st century. He shared an example of the latest technological developments, an e-book that is currently available in the McCormick Library. The e-book is used in the same way as a Palm Pilot and can hold five entire books. Currently, 1,700 titles are available. To meet students needs for the future, libraries must plan to provide new technology and the means for students to access it. The Internet, for example, provides the same information that was available to students before; however, now it is provided in a new format, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The library, as a result, must be able to give students not only easy access to the information but also assistance in finding and using that information. In another technological development, the College has established a Wired Faculty Institute. This pilot program was begun with one nursing course that made the syllabus, resources, articles and videos available on-line. Two more nursing courses will be offered in Fall Work will begin soon with faculty from the social sciences area who will develop classes. The Library has applied for a grant from the Kline Foundation to buy additional technology. The College s library technology is keeping pace with other Pennsylvania colleges, and in some instances is ahead, employing the latest technology available. Plans are being made to create a virtual catalog that other colleges would have access to. Ms. Redmond thanked Mr. Peguese for his report and service to the College, and wished him well in his upcoming retirement. V. OLD BUSINESS None VI.
