DUKE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER LIBRARY

NEWSLETTER #249 MARCH 1996

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR LIBRARY HOURS I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked when our entire collection Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 12:00 Midnight of journals will be available online! New technologies for connectivity Saturday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm are already in place -- fiber optics, ISDN, Internet, support for remote Sunday 12:00 noon - 12:00 Midnight connections via SLIP/PPP, and the Medical Center’s Common Services Network. Challenges libraries face include copyright restrictions, the over- whelming task of scanning documents (most likely done by commercial PHONE NUMBERS vendors), storing large amounts of data, and purchasing more powerful computers. User expectations are growing. I do know that as an initial A-to-Z Information Express 660-1135 step, after having tested the full-text New England Journal of Medicine, Acquisitions 660-1115 we plan to subscribe to the OVID Core Biomedical Collection of 15 Administration 660-1150 journals, updated monthly, from 1993 onward.
