Virtual Resources Coming to Mack Library
The Greenville News reported Friday that a new "virtual library" will consolidate "resources at 56 public and private South Carolina colleges and universities" including BJU. Here is part of the article.
It gives electronic access to more than 12,000 full text titles in academic journals and other publications that university students, faculty and researchers use in their work, Boykin said.
In addition, it will create a statewide university book catalogue and borrowing system, so anyone at any participating schools can look for a book across the whole system and borrow it by clicking on a button, Boykin said.
A statewide courier service would provide delivery within 24-48 hours in most cases. "It will help because if the book is not here, you can get access to books elsewhere," Antwi said.
