Borrowing a book just got easier
for the nearly 50,000 students, fac
ulty and staff currently affiliated with
the 12 Pacific Northwest academic
libraries that belong to the Orbis
unified library catalog system head
q u artered at the U n iv ersity o f
O regon’s Knight Library
Now, a single keystroke activates
Orbis Borrowing, an online interli
brary loan service that makes four
million books and other generally
circulating times a available round-
the-clock to students and educators
at public and private colleges and
universities throughout Oregon and
in southeastern Washington
“This new service is quick and
easy to use at any time on and day
from the library, home or office,"
says Nancy Nathanson, Orbis coor
dinator for the UO Library System.
“Simply connect to the Orbis union
catalog, find the item you want to
borrow, then follow the on-screen
instructions to request it. Orbis lets
you know ifthe item is available and
informs you when it has placed your
request.”
Materials requested through Orbis
Borrowing will be delivered with a
couple o f working days for pick up at
the patrons’ library. Nathanson says
member institutions are committed
to rapid delivery and a standard loan
period o f three weeks.
Orbis Borrowing was launched
March 10, two years and two days
after the com puterized statewide
union catalog went online to serve
the needs o f student and faculty schol
ars and to maximize public access to
an increasingly valuable resource -
the state’s research library collec
tions.
“The cost o f books, periodicals
and electronic media is sky-rocket
ing," says UO Librarian George W
Shipman. “Orbis is an invaluable
tool for research libraries to pool
their resources. Easy access to the
Orbis collection means that we can
reduce the costs o f duplicate titles
and coordinate our purchases o f
unique resources. We also can share
the costs o f more expensive data
bases. Orbis means we can stretch
our buying power.
He says Orbis - created with start
up funding from the Meyer Memo
rial Trust o f Portland and additional
support from the Oregon State Sys
tem o f High Education (O SSH E)- is
a resource for the entire state and
region that will benefit countless
citizens in the years to come.
Online interlibrary loans for pa
trons not affiliated with one o f the
Orbis member institutions is a fu
ture possibility, Nathanson says.
“O ur goals is to extend this con
venience to people anyw here in
the region, but we decided we
needed to see how this expanded
capability w orks and to iron out
any bugs before taking the next
step,” she says.
Orbis offers information on li
brary collectionsat five OSSHE cam
puses - The University o f Oregon,
Eastern Oregon StateCollege, South
ern Oregon State College, Western
Oregon State College, and the O r
egon InstituteofT echnology-andat

Fox University, Lewis and Clark
College, Linfield College, Reed Col
lege, the University o f Portland and

circulate water and nutrients.
