Brown University Joins HELIN

Effective July 1, Brown University became the 9th and largest member of Rhode Island's Higher Education Library Information Network (HELIN). Their membership doubles the number of catalog records in HELIN from 2 to 4 million. The statewide delivery system will make Brown's circulating materials available to faculty and students at Salve within 2 to 3 days of a request. Access to Brown's catalog and loan requests through HELIN is anticipated for September.

A/V Material Has Moved

With the popularity of our videos and CD's increasing and with the arrival soon of DVD's, the McKillop Library has moved the A/V Room to a new location on the first floor. Now situated in the Northwest alcove of what formerly housed serials, the new location allows a more orderly display and room for expansion.
