This is a critical time for
Oregon libraries in terms of

Polish and computerese. He

the June 9th morning session
of the 66th annual Outdoor
Writers Association of

computer screen, which was
projected on a large screen up
front, a literature search that
would have taken me several
days.
Matylonek is engineering
librarian at Oregon State
University. His demonstration
showed the relative ease of
thorough information retrieval
in the Information Age. As he
explained, global information
networks are being created for
public access. Using a personal
computer and a modem, we can
currently access a hundred
thousand or so networks, used
by more than 10 million people.
To do this, Matylonek used
Internet, which is a network
used by many libraries. Using
his personal computer in
Portland, he accessed Massachusetts, and then with a few
simple commands he used this
gateway to connect with the
University of North Carolina.
Using Telenet, he had access to
an extended international
bulletin board, but chose to stay
in North America rather than
opting for Asia or the Middle
East. Listing libraries by state,
he then connected with the
Colorado Alliance of Research
Libraries.
With this connection, we had
access to a card catalog that
includes some 14,000 journals,
such as Outdoor Life or Sports
Afield. Four million articles are
included in this file, with
750,000 articles being added
annually.
Delving deeper, he showed
us the most current issue of
Outdoor Life. On file was the
June issue, and he pulled up the
table of contents. The full text oL.
each article is not available on
screen, but there are summaries
for many. Matylonek estimated
full text availability for each
article on screen in about seven
years. However, a copy of any
article could be ordered by
major credit card and would be
sent in two days, at the cost of
about $9.50.
He also gave a quick
demonstration of how to access
specific articles doing a word
search in titles, using the words
outdoor, life, and fishing. In
seconds we saw a list of 84
articles with those words in
their title.
The demonstration concluded with an explanation of
Network News, which gives us
access to experts on almost any
subject. This is animate information, and using the words
guns, hunting, and fishing, the
screen showed 394 comments.
To take advantage of this
telecommunications revolution,
you need a personal computer,
a modem, and access, which is
available in most major cities
through local libraries and
universities. The hookup fee is
about $10 per month.
From a person who is far
from being a technophile, I
found Matylonek's discussion
very easy to understand and
full of useful information. He
convinced me it is time to
follow the transition from
being a writer to a word
processor to going on to
computer-based research. And
with the ease of his presentation and the knowledge he
relayed in such a short time,
when I get that trip to Poland I
know who I'll call for my
primer in Polish.

for a gala
musical event
to benefit the

Saturday evening, April 9th,
Rachelle and Robin McCabe
will present a benefit piano
concert at the LaSells Stewart
Center in Corvallis "Carnival of
the Animals" by Saint Saëns,
narrated by OSU President John
Byrne, will be the featured
presentation, among other

The McCabe sisters are wellknown keyboard artists in the
Northwest. Rachelle McCabe,
associate professor of piano and
director of keyboard studies at
Oregon State University, enjoys
an international career as a
concert pianist and teacher.
Since her 1975 concerto debut
with the Seattle Symphony, she
has performed with many other
North American orchestras
including the Pittsburgh,
Portland, and Victoria symphonies. She has performed recitals
in major cities in the United
States, Canada, and Southeast
Asia, recently returning from a
Rachelle and Robin McCabe
year's sabbatical in Cambridge,
England, where she studied the
performance of solo piano
repertoire.
Robin McCabe has performed for appreciative audiences in the U.S., Europe,
Canada, South America, and
the Far East. Recently she made
her third concert tour in Asia,
performing as guest soloist with
orchestra and in solo recital.
The Japanese press declared her
"a pianistic powerhouse." A
professor of piano at the
University of Washington, and
the winner of numerous prizes
and awards, she has been the
subject of frequent television
and radio features and is in
demand as a speaker across the
United States.

the past
decade, computerized cartography has moved
beyond the
specialized laboratory, and GIS
(Geographic Information
System) has become the latest
"hot" acronym. Digitized
spatial data is now regularly
requested by researchers and
graduate students; furthermore, the advent of personal
computers and CD-ROMs in
the library setting has changed
the expectations of many casual
patrons when they ask for a
map. Around the country,
many map collections are
investing in GIS software for
public terminals and providing
access to many types of
digitized cartography.
During a sabbatical leave
earlier this year, I visited eleven
map collections in the United
States, examining their computerized systems and determining how well their patrons
benefited from them. I also met
with OSU GIS users to determine what services they
wanted Kerr Library to provide. The final outcome of my
study was the receipt of a
$55,000 grant to supply the
Library Map Room with two
IBM-compatible 486 computers, a CD-ROM drive, and a
color laser printer to utilize a
dozen different software
packages containing spatial
data available to campus users.
For users outside of Kerr
Library, four different mapping
packages will be available
through the Local Area Network (LAN) for use on their
own terminals and printers.
Additionally, we will be able to
implement an expanded
collection development policy
which will focus on acquiring
Over
data in digital form for GIS
users, making it available
through an optical/magnetic
storage computing system.
Scanning and large format color
printing capabilities are additional features to come.
Adding more excitement to
the Map Room is a collection of
maps recently donated by the
Research Forests of the OSU
College of Forestry. During the
past year, the Research Forests
staff created a cartographic
database of Benton, Lincoln,
and Polk counties' forest
resources, using their own
maps as well as items in the
Library Map Room. After this
database was completed, they
donated their maps to us, and
also provided an Ulrich Planfile
for storage of these maps. The
Planfile is reminiscent of a
freezer chest, but provides an
efficient, mobile, water- and
fire-proof environment for rare
and fragile materials.
The addition of these maps
broadens the Map Room's
historical collection to include
both manuscript and computer
generated maps and makes
available to researchers materials that are generally not
available from other agencies.
Recataloging is now planned
for both the existing collection
of historical maps and the new
additions, to be added to Oasis
for the first time, providing
vastly improved access for the
library patron. This cataloging
project will also include a
conservation aspect, as the
physical condition of many
maps requires placing them in
mylar envelopes for protection
from physical deterioration.
Ever since ancient humans
had need of geographical
knowledge, maps have provided amazingly rich sources of
immediately comprehensible
information. Information that
explains the present by revealing its past and provides
today's visionaries with a
rational basis for their prophecies is as vitally important today
as it was in the Age of Discovery. While the scope of our
activities in the Map Room
expands to embrace the Age of
Information Technology, we are
cognizant of our past as well as
our future. The Map Room will
remain a rich repository of
cartographical data, serving the
needs of its patrons for many
years to come.

A NOTE TO MY FRIENDS:
will be my last "thank you" note to you all and this time, not in my own handwriting!
First, I must thank our good Director of Libraries, Mel George, for his many kind words to
me during the past 12 years. It is an honor and a pleasure to help Kerr Library and I have
enjoyed working with Mel in several different ways to promote the needs of the Library.
Thanks, too, are due to all members of the Library staff and faculty who have helped me many
times with a variety of jobs. They have always accepted me, it seems, as one of their group. I shall
miss you all!
Thank you, members of the Board of the Friends of the Library, those past and present. You, too,
have been a great support to me whenever I have asked for help. You have been very patient also,
for sometimes I have been critical or have offered conflicting suggestions but you have always
listened. You are special Friends, who give your time as well as your gifts to Kerr Library. I shall
miss you, too!
Finally, my thanks go out, literally, around the world to the Friends of the Library, to whom I
have written these past several years. I have come to know you by your names and addresses and
changes of address, by your occasional notes of comment and criticism, by your second gift in a
fiscal year, by your increased gifts in following years and by your steadfast help year after year.
Some of you have been donating to the Library regularly for as long as I have been writing. You, by
your names, are my Friends too!
Because I am moving to Medford and, thus, shall be out of regular touch with Kerr Library and
OSU, it seemed a logical time to "retire" as executive secretary of the Friends of the Library. I shall be
sad not to be in contact with you all, throughout the coming years. However, I hope this will not
give you cause to forget Kerr Library! The Expansion Project is making good progress but we cannot
stop now. The deadline to match the state's contribution is only 18 months away. Keep up your
good work even if you do not hear from me!
Mine has been a rewarding volunteer job and, it seems, one that has been appreciated by many. I
'am leaving a vacant desk. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys people and feels strongly
about the need to thank the Friends for their part in the growth of Kerr Library and to tell what that
growth means to the University!
This
Again, a big THANK
YOU for the special
contacts that I have had
with everyone. Let me
know, in Medford, if
you think that I can help
Kerr Library from time
to time! With my best
wishes for the Library
Expansion Project.

GRANT
RECEIVED BY
OSU LIBRARIES
has
recently been
Os
ULibraries
awarded $330,000 in federal
funds under the U.S. Dept. of
Education Library Technology
Program for a three-year
project which will ultimately
make government information
on compact disk available to
Northwest businesses, researchers, and libraries in a
user-friendly format.
Currently, through its
depository program, the U.S.
government provides certain
statistical information to the
public through selected
libraries. Originally, most of
this information came on paper
or on microform. However,
more and more agencies are
issuing census reports or
economic statistics on compact
disks. While this makes for easy
storage and handling, many of
these disks come with software
essentially unusable to any but
the most sophisticated and
persistent user.
The first phase of this project
involves taking a disk the
Library currently owns with
relatively easy-to-use software
and making it available to users
throughout the state. For
instance, this means that a small
business owner in eastern
Oregon needing economic
statistics could access the
government information disk in
Kerr Library. A user who had a
computer and modem, could
access the information directly
from home. If the person didn't
have a modem, the information
would be available through the
user's local library.
This project will involve
networking CD towers and
other data storage devices,
installing a new UNIX computer with a customized userfriendly software interface, and
linking the system to the
Internet. The compact disk
sources mounted on the system
will focus on census and
commercial data of interest to
the Pacific Northwest. The
project will create a working
system, but will also demonstrate how similar systems can
be constructed by other institutions.
In the later phases, work will
be done on those government
disks with difficult-to-use
software to develop a common
and more user-friendly software. This newly developed
software will be in the public
domain, which will mean
libraries throughout the U.S.
and elsewhere will be free to
adapt it to their local conditions.
The result is more information
to more users.
This project requires that
library faculty and staff do
some pioneering research and
product development, which
will benefit not only the OSU
Libraries, but users throughout
the Pacific Northwest. This is
truly a good example of "your
tax dollars at work."
