Expansion of Janus planned
By Edward Klopfanstain
‘. ’Huger, Guey l -ww-aw
Modem users will have immediate access to the
state's regional college libraries if a University
based computing system goes on-line as planned
next summer
The planned Oregon State System of Higher
Education union catalog would allow users of
Janus, the University library's computerized card
catalog, access to not only the University’s collec
tion of two million volumes, but also to about
650,000 volumes from the state's regional colleges
The union catalog would appear as an option at
the bottom of the s< reen when students make their
initial information request, making Janus a virtu
al one stop shopping center, said Alice Allen,
assistant University librarian for technical ser
vices.
A grant from the Mover Memorial Trust of Port
land for nearly $770,000 will fund initial start-up
i osts for the system The funds also will renovate
the Knight Library Technical Services Center,
which houses the system
■'This project is especially important to the Uni
versity of Oregon and the four regional state col
leges since it reflects our educational, research and
public service missions,” said University Presi
dent Myles Brand. The Meyer Trust 's grant will
enhance the rapacity of each of the institutions to
provide statewide service."
University Librarian Cieorge Shipman said since
the Knight Library is the biggest in the statu, the
planned service represents the University's
responsibility to serve the academic, business and
governmental communities in Oregon.
One-third of the project's funding will pay for
the new system. The other $526,000 will go to ren
ovating the technical center. Shipman said.
Renovation would upgrade the center's technol
ogy so it can provide greater access to incoming
requests by modem and offer more support to the
F.D-NKT distance learning program, he said KD
NET supports student programs for students with
out at (.ess to college facilities.
Upon completion of the union catalog this sum
mer. anyone equipped with a modem in Oregon
will have access to the library files of participating
universities.
All msts for maintaining the system will be paid
by the state system. Allen said, with only some
additional staff time being applied to the project
by the University.
Currently, participants besides the University
include Western Oregon State College, Eastern
Oregon State College, Southern Oregon State Col
lege and Oregon Institute of Technology.
Other institutions, such as I.infield College in
McMinnville and Willamette University in Salem,
also have shown interest in joining the system.
Shipman said.
Shipman said the system will maximize limit
ed funds throughout the state university system by
supporting resource sharing.
"At a time when library budgets are severely
constrained, libraries must seek ways in which to
maximize the impact of the money available to
ensure that the fullest possible range of collections
is available within the state.” Shipman said.
The Meyer Memorial Trust funding the project
is the largest foundation in the Northwest, with
assets of more than $300 million. The trust was
initially developed by the late Fred G. Meyer with
a sale of his store's stock. The charitable organiza
tion is not connected with the chain of retail
stores.
YUGOSLAVIA
Continued from Page 1
In March this year. Renata's
father got through from Sarajevo
on a heavily trafficked telecom
munications satellite.
"I couldn't believe it when I
heard his voice," she said. "First
I laughed, and then l cried. We
talked for only a minute before
the line broke down. But he told
me they were OK. and he said
that I should stay in the United
States."
Both Renata and Nikolina
have brothers who have served
in the army during the war.
Nikolina said her brother served
in Zagreb for a while, but he is
now studying computer science
at a university.
"My twin brother is still fight
ing.” Renata said. "He came I rack
to Bosnia from Germany just two
months before the war broke out.
The last time anybody heard from
him was in August."
After the war broke out. Nikoli
na personally experienced some
of the ethnic animosity that arose
in the former Yugoslavia
"Some of my best friends
were Serbian." Nikolina said.
"One day, a Serbian friend of
mine told me she was going to
Switzerland. Later I heard that
she had escaped to Serbia. I was
very hurt because she had lied
to me. And many of iny Serbian
friends don't answer the phone
anymore ."
But Renata and Nikotina are
feeling better now.
"For the first time since I
came to the United States, I'm
really happy with my life,"
Renata said "I've learned that
it's important to keep myself
btisv, so that I don’t think about
the war all the time. And com
ing to Eugene was such a relief
for me after living in really small
towns for two years.”
Nikolina believes she’s privi
leged to lie able to study music.
"Music is my greatest pas
sion," she said. "Being able to
study opera is a great opportuni
ty for me. Here at the Universi
ty I can learn a lot about things
that are important in this profes
sion: song, dance, drama, lan
guages and so on. In Croatia. 1
wouldn't have been able to do
that right now,"
“I'm also glad that 1 can be a
representative for my country
‘I was watching
these terrible
television images
from Sarajevo, and
I didn't know
anything about the
state of my family.'
Renata Filipovic
here in the United States,"
Nikolina said. "When I tell peo
ple that I'm from Croatia, a lot of
people don't know whore that
is Some people ask if I said
'Korea' or Russia.' I think 1 have
an important task in informing
people about my country and
the wur that's going on there."
"You don't hear so much al»out
the war in the former Yugoslavia
anymore," Renata said. "I think
that's sad. I suppose there's a cer
tain inflation in news. When
you've heard ahout all the atroc
ities and seen the terrifying pic
tures for a while, the shock wears
off 1 just hope people won't for
get about what's happening in my
home country."
