2. With little to no budget increases, buying more
materials was out of the question.
Selective Dissemination of Information gives an
added value service.
SDI has also opened lines of communication with
faculty and students.

3. The catalog is not user friendly - especially for
multidisciplinary fields:
•“New Titles List” is hard to find
•Class numbers vary
•Tables of contents are unpredictable
•Indexing services are delayed

8. • GeoRef/GeoRef In Process = zero
• Academic Search Complete = zero
• Web of Knowledge = zero
• You get the idea!

9. Again, budget constraints:
Library à la CarteTM is a free, open source product
from Oregon State University
http://alacarte.library.oregonstate.edu/home.
“The Library à la Carte Content Management System
(CMS) enables librarians to easily and quickly create
dynamic web pages that integrate Web 2.0
features, such as chat and RSS feeds, with
traditional library content”

10. The modules, pages and guides are:
•Easy to build
•Easy to share with colleagues
•Easy to publish
•Easy to update
