ICEPAC Is Updated
The most recent update of ICEPAC was released at the end of August, in
time for the beginning of the academic year.
ICEPAC is the regional on-line catalog, and integrates the holdings of
305 libraries spanning the North Country.
ICEPAC is updated quarterly and can be searched by individual library or
by any of several groups of libraries. ICEPAC is found online at:
www.icepac.net
The ICEPAC site has been enhanced to provide ready access to other North
Country resources, including several full text databases. If you are not yet
using ICEPAC, please take a look - we think you'll like what you see.
There's Still Time To Take An On-Line Course
The North Country Reference and Research Resources Council's contract
with the on-line firm, MindLeaders, expires on November 18, 2000.
This means there is still time to finish a course you are currently
working on, or sign up to take a few courses.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this great opportunity,
please contact Pam Ouimet at
pouimet@northnet.org
All courses through this program are free of charge to library personnel.
