College planning biggest-ever Homecoming ’89 by Tina Wiegerink ('.larion Reporter It will be dorm against dorm and club against club this year at Homecoming on Oct. 14. Yes, it’s that time again. Homecoming weekend. This year with the added attrac tion, students as well as the athletes will get to feel the heat of competition. A parade has been added this year to the There’s virtually no limit to the informa tion the library can provide. Unknown to most library users, the library’s reach extends beyond the building that houses its collection. Through interlibrary loan, the library can tap the resources of other libraries to bor row materials for patrons. “When patrons search the stacks or the catalog and realize we don’t have what they’re looking for, we encourage them to ask us about interlibrary loan,” said Mike McCabe, director of the James A. Jones Hbrary. “In most cases, we can locate what they need at another library adn ar range to borrow it.” To increase awareness that “there’s more to the library than the eye can see,” the James A. Jones library is paying tribute to interlibrary lending this fall with a variety of promotional materials. The tribute is part of a larger celebration spon sored by OCLC Online Computer Library Center, a nonprofit organization that automates libraries with computer systems and services. OCLC is celebrating the lOth birthday of its electronic in terlibrary loan network, which serves 3,600 libraries in 26 countries. Homecoming events. The best decorated truck for both the clubs and the dorms will be awarded cash prizes. The best trlick for the clubs will be awarded $75 while the best truck for the dorms will be awarded $125. “I want the parade to become a tradi tion.” said BC’s Alumni Director Betty Neale, who is coordinating the Homecom ing events. An interlibrary loan is a transaction in which, upon request, one library lends an item from its collection, or furnishes a copy of the item, to anothe library not under the same administration or on the same campus. The transaction can be ar ranged over the telephone, in the mail or using a computer network, such as the OCLC Interlibrary Loan system. Interlibrary loan solves a growing pro blem among libraries. With the rising costs of materials and services, a library often cannot purchase everything it needs to adequately develop its collection in all areas. If a patron needs something the library does not have, interlibrary loan makes the resources of other libraries available. “Interlibrary loan allows us to make the best use of our library dollars by purchas ing materials of interest to may users and borrowing single or low-demand items upon request,” said Mike McCabe. “We welcome the opportunity to extend this valuable service to our users.” For more information on the James A Jones library’s interlibrary loan services^ visit the library or call 883-8292, ext. 268.
