Lynn McCracken

Lynn McCracken is the liibrarian, who looks after the interlibrary loan program at Loyalist College.
Loyalist is linked to all the colleges in Ontario. If they can't find the book in a college library, there is a link to the National LIbrary of Canada, which then links to the universities.
It can take up two weeks for a book to arrive, but usually they come more quickly.
"We are not yet involved with scanned books yet, but there is potential," said McCraken.
Another big part of her job is cataloque development.

She finds course relevent material to build the collection.. Staff, faculty and students come up with suggestions for her.
The overall bugdet for aquistions is in the order of 2oo,ooo dollars, said Dayle Gorsline, acquisitions librarian.

Acquisitions include books, videos, data bases, magazines,and journals.

The library takes print and microfilm copies of the National Post, Globe and Mail and Intelligenser.
