As we move into 1994, it seems opportune to reflect on the OLUC and what it might become in the next few years. We are at the beginning of an interesting era for cataloging because of two factors: technology and finances. That is, technology is expanding while finanaces are dwindling. We might be at the beginning of a cycle of decisions leading us to utilize a superior technology that will give patrons access to a mediocre bank of information. This is similar to having wonderful plumbing in a building but an inadequate water supply. There would be beautiful fixtures throughout that building, stupendous service on those fixtures, fountains everywhere, innovative nozzles and spigots and basins, but out of each faucet would come the exact same thing: tepid water – a product that almost never meets anyone′s needs. Is that really service? More to the point, is that what we want to deliver: tepid water for everyone?

In the past three to five years, those of us working in Interlibrary Loan have seen an increase in the number of local “home‐grown” electronic ILL systems. Typically, these systems were designed in response to patron desires, but sometimes the electronic requesting systems were created to help Interlibrary Loan staff. After all, it is much easier to read a printed request than a handwritten request.

So, did anyone miss me from the last issue? Were you anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Winter issue so you could see how the ending of my article turned out? Did you anxiously turn to the table of contents only to discover ...it wasn′t there? No? You didn′t notice? Gee, after all these issues, I′d like to think I was missed. Oh well...[sigh]. Anyway, I missed the deadline.

The New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) is a relatively small two‐year college of about 1,900 FTE students located in an oil – and gas‐producing, semirural environment in southeastern New Mexico. The college has a relatively comprehensive two‐year curriculum leading to Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees in traditional freshman and sophomore areas of study. The college is known for the high percentage of transferrable courses to four‐year colleges and universities in the region. The NMJC also serves as a vocational school for the greater Lea County area of southeastern New Mexico and portions of West Texas.

Reviews a project undertakn at the University of Oregon involving exporting uniform title authority records to disk. Shows that a backlog, be it of books, maps, or authority records, need not always be a negative and can in fact provide further opportunities for learning. Suggests a means of retrieving authority records, stockpiled as a result of backlogging, into a local system in a timely fashion.

Details how one interlibrary loan department is utilizing OCLC to cope with an increasing workload. Demonstrates how OCLC has consistently upgraded hardware and software to meet changing user needs and how changes in interlibrary lending (ILL) procedure using OCLC benefit staff and patrons. Looks in particular at the electronic transmission of patron requests via local systems and on a new, national (US) level in using Firstsearch software.

Discusses how one library uses PASSPORT′s INTI4 session with Cross Connect modem sharing software on a Novell 3.11 local area network (LAN), allowing four shared OCLC dedicated lines to do the work of six, and thus making it possible to achieve cost savings. Outlines the installation of this system for other libraries.
