other professional organizations to take the library word to the people
we would like to serve.In November 2001, Gretta Siegel, Anne Roy and

SystemConsortia - Colorado) http://ascc.lib.co.us ASCC (pronounce “Ask”) is a joint effort of two Colorado Regional Library Systems to launch a new consortia catalog for school, public, special, and other libraries in Colorado. The target is small to mid-sized libraries (including public, school, special, and others) that would ideally see economic and maintenance benefits by joining a consortia. An Application Service Provider delivers a powerful automation system to libraries of all sizes through standard Internet connections. For the smallest users, it can even work on a dial-up connection!Through this system the Colorado Div. of Wildlife Library may soon go online! 3:30 - 6:00

archaeologists and, yes, even a few outlaws and "soiled doves."Women and

history.A visit to the Animas Museum and Library will bring this history
alive. 7:00 - 8:00 AM

Lewis College Data
files, Metadata, and New Opportunities for Libraries
The Federal Geographic
Data Committee (FGDC) developed data documentation standards for digital
data and information products which can be converted to United States
Machine Readable Cataloging (USMARC) standard and added to library
catalogs to increase access to the materials. A comparison of FGDC
standards and the USMARC and Anglo-American Cataloging rules shows the
similarity of the standards and offers a new service that libraries can
offer to patrons. Providing metadata services makes the library part of
the science team and provides another service the library can market.

Blenden -- Refuge Manager
