How should we write about SUNYConnect?
"Is" or "Will"?; present tense or future tense? Which should it be?
For things SUNYConnect, significant accomplishments have already taken place, yet
much is left to be done. SUNYConnect now includes access to additional databases. Larry Randall writes about the new SUNYConnect database, HarpWeek. HarpWeek should prove a useful history resource while providing another full-text database for SUNYConnect. Along with full-text, HarpWeek also includes historical images, photos and advertisements from the original Harper's Weekly publication. Also announced is the SUNYConnect-wide online access to approximately 740 Elsevier journals. With a heavy focus on the science and technology areas, the Elsevier access represents another significant increase in the full-text database resources offered through SUNYConnect. And in the [New York] libraries working together category, the New York State Library made two major announcements about full-text databases offered via their EmpireLink program. Another component of SUNYConnect is our information literacy course. Kate Majewski writes about how Delhi is making use of various modules of the course. SUNYConnect will further expand library services to all members of the SUNY community. Implementation of a common library management system is a big step forward towards facilitating SUNY-wide library borrowing for all SUNY students, staff and faculty. Vince Courtney tells us of some of Fredonia's experiences in implementing ALEPH. The next group of libraries to implement the SUNYConnect LMS have been announced. Vince and others at the pilot campuses can show us some of what the future holds for SUNY libraries working together. |
