| The
University Libraries provide access to a variety of digital information,
including the library catalog and |
| other
local databases, and a growing number of commercial databases that are
licensed for use by the |
| university
community. Access methods
continue to change as the delivery of electronic information evolves. |
| Currently,
Internet (Web) access predominates. |

|
| The
web-based library catalog (Cameo) contains records of items owned by the
libraries, as well as items on |
| order
or being cataloged for library collections. Cameo is part of a system that
integrates acquisitions and |
| cataloging
functions with circulation, reserve, and user service functions. Users can
see if items are available |
| or
checked out when they use the library catalog; they can also request
services (like Renew Item or |
| Request
Check-out Item). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Users
may access Cameo from any computer with Internet capability at:

|
| As
the digital library environment matures, more full-text documents and
images are becoming available. |
| Some
vendors who are providing full-text documents are no longer reporting
numbers of searches. |
