reference and research support, development and maintenance of the
Library's web site, bibliographic instruction, including support for the

faculty status in a tenure-track position. The School of Dentistry is the
only dental school in Indiana and trains dentists, dental hygienists, and
dental assistants, as well as offering post-D.D.S. programs in dental
specialty areas such as orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. The Library
has a collection of over 50,000 volumes and serves faculty, staff and
students, as well as alumni, dental health practitioners throughout the
world and the general public. The Library is administered by the School of
Dentistry, but participates in a variety of cooperative programs with the
other Indiana University Libraries, including a library automation system
and electronic database offerings.

6. Web-Based Library Management Systems
I would like to announce demonstrations of two Web-based Library Management Systems which we are evaluating for possible deployment at Indiana University. These demonstrations will take place at IUPUI, and are open to all library staff. We do not have all of the details worked out as yet, but I did want to give you an opportunity to put these dates on your calendars. These will be all-day meetings, with demonstrations of the various modules split into different sessions. We will follow up later with an announcement of the specific agenda, and outline of the times for each module.
The first demonstration will be:
SIRSI's Unicorn System
May 12th
The second demonstration will be:
Endeavor's Voyager System
May 19th
Watch for more information in the coming weeks, but we hope many of you will be able to attend.
