2. THE RESERVE CATALOG IS UP AND RUNNING
Students and faculty now have a new way to find what is on reserve for their courses, the Reserve Web Catalog. By accessing the following URL:
http://www.indiana.edu/~libreser/Iforms/catalog.html
one can search the reserve catalog by instructor's last name, course number and keyword. The Reserve Web Catalog is a by-product of the creation of electronic reserves. Ella Liderman (UCS) developed a SAS program which gathers all items in NOTIS which have a reserve location code and then creates a database of various fields of the selected NOTIS records. The program runs every night and transfers the database to our departmental account on www.indiana.edu. Jian Liu (ERDS) adapted an indexing/searching program to index the database and provide the search engine. Jay Wilkerson (Media & Reserve Services) designed the Web page for the catalog and along with Catherine Berndt (Media & Reserve Services) spent countless hours assuring that all reserve NOTIS records were transferring and displaying properly in the web catalog as well as cleaning up "dirty" NOTIS reserve records. Catherine also had to revise many aspects of how reserve items are processed in order to accommodate this new method of accessing our reserve collection. I would also like to mention the support Mark Fedderson (Library Automation) provided this effort. Thank you to everyone who helped us accomplish this project.
