relating to the library construction for several months
and have viewed many drawings of how it will look when
completed, there is nothing
quite so powerful as watching

have a truly magnificent

giving my thanks and appreciation to Mel George. His
vision set the groundwork for
the staff we have today and
for the library we will have
tomorrow. He has been a
great University Librarian,
both within the OSU community and in the state-at-large,
an inspired colleague and a
good friend. I wish him all the
best and thank him for so
much. We will truly miss him.

option of obtaining information
through the latest
in electronic wizardry, the
digital library. Offered on an
experimental basis last year,
the Information Access Full
Text Project provides on-line
access to more than 2,500
scholarly and general interest
titles with indexing and abstracts, and full-text access to
more than 500 journals.
Charlene Grass, Associate
University Librarian for Technical and Automation Services,
says this service is particularly
aimed at serving the undergraduate student at OSU, but is
of interest for generalized
research as well. Available 24
hours a day via the Internet,
journals such as American
Students
Business Law Journal, British
Journal of Psychology, Oceanus,

and the Life Sciences, are now
available on-line. Grass explains that it's like Periodical

free printing capabilities in the
Valley Library and the computer labs. In the works for the
future is the capability of

The Information Access Full

ccessful during its experiental first year that it has
been continued. "It's now the
most popular database in the
Library. Useage has increased
dramatically," says John Donel,
Reference Librarian, who
instructs the Library reference
staff who, in turn, show students how to access the database. It has also drawn the
attention of the Oregon State
Library in Salem, which is
looking at the option of licensing the entire State, thereby
providing access for all city
and county libraries as well.
Charlene Grass comments that
most of the major university
libraries in the nation are now
subscribing to this or similar
electronic access services.
John Done!, Reference Librarian, calls up journal on-line service
For the future, the OSU
Libraries are looking toward
provision of full image journal
articles. At present, the full text
available on-line from IAC
includes only alpha-numeric
text with no photographs or
graphs. However, IAC and
other vendors of on-line journals are currently working on
providing World Wide Web
access to the full image of
journals. Grass concludes that
when we can view a wellformatted version of an article
with it's full range of illustrations, then on-line access will
truly be able to replace the
printed version of journals.

new aid to rapid

made its appearance. If it catches
on, indications are
that it will make all the electronic gadgets just so much

as Built-in Orderly Organized

Many advantages are

How does this revolutionary, unbelievably easy invention work? Basically, BOOK
consists only of a large number

to hundreds where BOOK
covers a lengthy program of
information. Each sheet bears a
number in sequence, so that the
sheets cannot be used in wrong
order. To make it easier to keep
the sheets in proper order, they

locking device called a binding.
great savings are realized, in
both the size and cost of
BOOK. No buttons need to be
pressed to move from one
sheet to another, to open or
close BOOK, or to start it
working.
BOOK may be taken up at
any time and used by merely
opening it. Instantly, it is
ready for use nothing has to
be connected or switched on.
The user may turn at will to
any sheet, going backwards or
forwards. A sheet is provided
near the beginning as a location
finder for any required information sequence.
A small accessory, available
at trifling extra cost, is the
BOOKmark. This enables the
user to pick up his program
where he left off on the previous learning session.
BOOKmark is versatile and
may be used in any BOOK.
The initial cost of BOOK
varies with the size and subject

BOOKs are available, covering
every conceivable
subject and adjusted to different
aptitude levels.

the makers, is supplied by the

BOOKs may be stored on

DESIGN NEW

some of the memorial and

with the OSU Libraries.
Thanks to the talented and
innovative art students we

series of new bookplates for
our memorial and endowed
funds are now on hand. Working through the Design Studio
of the Art Department under
the guidance of professor
David Hardesty, senior Art

the task of designing the first
four of our new book plates.
Following in Ashley's foot-

done as though etched in granite in soft tones of taupe, sand,

pleased with the talents of our

excited at the opportunity to
use these new bookplates.
Endowed book funds have
always played an important
role in the life of the Library.
Some have strengthened the
collections in a particular discipline while others have benefited the Library as a whole.
And every fund tells a story.
Behind every endowed fund is

month of

marked the end of
the career of

Feted at several retirement
events during December,
George was surprised at a
public reception with the
announcement that a special
plaque would be mounted in
the entrance of the new library
in his honor. The inscription on
the plaque is shown below.
Mel George retires from
OSU with an enviable record,
and we hope that as our

TBuilding
The library is the heart of a university. The quality of the library's collection is
a barometer of the quality of intellectual inquiry on campusand the quality
of education we give our students, the leaders of our future. You can help
guarantee that our future leaders receive the best possible education by making a gift to the Friends of OSU Libraries.
Did you know that the OSU library began with a gift from Library Friends in
the Corvallis community? In 1880, the Corvallis Library Association donated
605 volumes to the Adelphian Literary Society, a college student organization
who managed the collection for the benefit of students and faculty.
qince that initial gift, the library collection has grown to one and a half million
lumes today. Over the years, your gifts have played a significant role in
'developing the collections of the OSU Libraries.
The Friends organization has pledged $575,000 to the OSU Library Campaign
to be paid before the pledge deadline of June 2000.
Friends sponsor the annual Distinguished Achievement Award, founded in
1994. Honorees to date include:

estate and securing it with a will. Now's the time to think about leaving a legacy for your
other family the OSU Libraries family.
Through a legacy gift, you can make sure
that the work you believe in will continue for
generations to come. You can do it through a
