On-Line Services Update

The Network will sponsor an update of consortia services with WALDO staff on May 30, 2003.

Included in the update will be recent additions to the WALDO portfolio of on-line databases, and a discussion of WALDO information and services. The session will be held at the Network’s office in Potsdam, and will run from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Following lunch, WALDO staff will be available for further discussion and questions.

WALDO is a consortium representing academic, public, k-12, hospital and special libraries in New York State.

Limited members of WALDO share consortia contracts for on-line databases and library services. Limited members participate either via the NY 3Rs or the New York State BOCES.
