Beginning with the new Academic Year, LIUCAT
(Long Island University's library catalog) has a new look.
This is the result of a migration to a new system, Horizon,
developed and administered by Ameritech Library Services.
The system is much more powerful and flexible than the earlier
one used at LIU.

Interlibrary loan is a way for our library
to obtain materials for our clients that are not available
in our collections. In order to do this, the library participates
in a nationwide consortium of over 30,000 libraries called
OCLC, which stands for Online Computer Library Center.
Through this system, a user is able to access the books and
periodicals of other libraries. We can get reprints of articles
and books for loan, from just about anywhere in the country.

The "soul of a new machine," as Kidder pointed
out nearly 20 years ago, is neither instantly created nor
easily fathomed. Over the past several months, the Brooklyn
campus library has been installing many new machines as well
as new systems to run them and new databases to which they
can be connected. The bugs, while annoying, have not prevented
library users from conducting research nearly-as-usual.
