Friends Host Homecoming Event

By Joan Ryan

The Friends of Fondren honored the service of the Rice English professor Robert L. Patten at the annual Homecoming Brunch on Saturday, October 23, beginning at 9 a.m., in the Kyle Mor- row Room. Computer demonstrations of the powerful information systems technology that will influence the library of the future were an added attraction at the social hour. Professor Patten, who served as editor of The Flyleaf from. 1971-73, and as a board member of the Friends of Fondren from 1971-77 and from 1990-92, joined the Rice faculty in 1969 as a Dickens scholar. He is the author of Charles Dickens and His Publishers (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1978), and

George Cruikshank's Life, Times, and Art, Vol. 1 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1992), as well as many scholarly articles and reviews. Robert L. Patten and Roxanne K. Shaw

A popular professor, Bob Patten has won the George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching at Rice a number of times. He graduated from Swarthmore College in 1960 and received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1965. After five years of teaching at Bryn Mawr, he joined the Rice faculty. In addition to honoring Professor Patten's service to the Friends, the homecoming program also featured state-of-the-art computer demonstra- tions. Library workers stationed on several terminals explained how advanced information systems will expand the offerings of a single library into a worldwide network of shared information that can be viewed on the computer screen in a variety of media.

Ricelnfo is a campus-wide information system developed jointly by Fondren Library and the Rice Computer Center. It offers users a wide Elizabeth Burr showing Diana Hobby range of constantly updated information — the Virtual Notebook System

including university policies, library hours, and useful student information such as lists of university services and events, as well as a complete catalog of books and periodicals available in Fondren and in libraries around the country. Ricelnfo is accessible through LIBRIS, Rice's online catalog, in the reference room of the library. Even more far-reaching is the Humanities Electronic Studio Project, a large scale, multi-media project that combines on the computer screen printed text, pictorial images, video animation and audio components and allows interactive exchanges among users. This system operates off the Virtual Notebook System, a software system developed by Vice President G. Anthony Gorry's research group when he was at the Baylor College of Medicine. Professor Gorry's group came to Rice with him.

The project is being developed as a collaborative effort of Fondren Library and Information Systems at Rice. Joan Ryan, Gus Schill, and David Elder at brunch
