F-^C Granted
In-WatsService
The Chesnutt Library
at Fayetteville State Col
lege has been granted ac
cess to the IN-WATS In
formation Service of the
North Carolina State Li
brary effective April 1.
Public libraries have
been using this unique
service since February,
1968, and other types of
libraries have had access
to it through them. This
new policy gives the 11-
bjrax-ies of four—yoar col —
leges and universities di
rect around-the-clock
access to the State Li
brary via Inward Wide
Area Telephone Service
(IN-WATS). An automa
tic answering and record
ing device will accept
calls when the State Li
brary is closed.
The principle use col
lege and university li
braries will make of IN-
WATS Information Serv
ice will be to identify lo
cations of materials prior
to requesting them
through interlibrary loan.
The State Library will
relay such locations re
quests via TWX (Tele
typewriter Exchange
Service) to the Interli
brary Center Union Cata
log at the University of
North Carolina Library
in Chapel Hill and will
call location information
received back to the li
brary initiating the re
quest.
This will mean a re
duction of at least two
days in interlibrary loan
transactions, according
to Philip Ogilvie, State
Librarian.
“It will make unneces
sary much expensive dup
lication of specialized
materials in college and
university libraries,” he
adds.
North Carolina State
Library IN-WATS In
formation Service is
funded from Title III of
the Library Services and
Construction Act. It is
used by dialing a toll-
free restricted number
that connects with the IN-
WATS desk at the State
Library.
Space For
CPI Enrollees
Fayetteville - A few
spaces remain available
for Fayetteville State
College’s College Pre
paratory Institute (CPI)

pected to be completed

'rtic inscicuce is do—
signed to serve as a
“bridge” or “headstart”
program for 50 high
school graduates from the
Fayetteville-Cumberland
area who have been ac
cepted by the college for
admission in the fall.
Funds for the institute
are provided by the N. C.
Board of Higher Educa
tion’s so-called “catch
up” program. In addi
tion, a grant has also been
awarded by the Rohm and
Haas Company.

the cost of instructional
supplies, lunch and trans
portation for learning
experiences.

culum are English, math
ematics and reading.
