Chalfoun, Eileen Community Colleges Computer Uses in Education Cooperative Programs Educational Technology Information Technology Library Services Noncampus Colleges Outreach Programs Shared Resources and Services Telecommunications Two Year Colleges The Community College of Vermont (CCV) does not have a campus library, but supports its programs with library services offered at 12 different sites within the state. The 12 sites, which were begun in spring 1985, each have a 500-volume non-circulating reference collection, with a special emphasis on business and human services materials to match program needs. Specialized collections in such areas as adult education, science, fine arts, Vermont history, sign language, cultural anthropology, and psychology, are circulated on a rotating basis among sites. The site libraries serve as research skills laboratories, helping students to begin their research by becoming familiar with reference materials, the card catalog, and various indexes. The college provides direct reference service to a community of students and instructors scattered throughout the state via a Wide Area Telecommunications Service (WATS) line installed into the office of CCV's library coordinator. Each of the site offices is equipped with the hardware and software to access the Instructional Resource and Information System (IRIS), a newly developed computer program designed to assist CCV instructors in sharing successful and exciting teaching techniques, classroom materials, exercises, books, videos, films, journal articles, and guest speakers. It is no easy task to provide library services to students in a non-campus setting. CCV relies heavily on telecommunications, computers, and cooperation with other libraries and institutions to accomplish this task. (EJV) |
