Franklin-Essex-Hamilton
School Library System

 

School Library System Network

Interlibrary Loan Service provides access to resources located in libraries throughout the North Country. By completing an interlibrary loan request in their school library, users may borrow nearly three million books and magazines listed on ICEPAC, the regional catalog on the Internet.

Participating libraries are provided with the tools to locate and process interlibrary loan requests including ICEPAC, the regional catalog on the Internet, ICICILL, the electronic interlibrary loan program, the North Country Union List of Serials, North Country Region Library Systems Directory of Libraries, and interlibrary loan envelopes.

Coordinated Cooperative Collection Development (CCCD) is a plan to build library collections which meet the needs of individual libraries without unnecessarily duplicating the resources in the area. Each library builds and maintains a core collection of materials to support the curriculum taught in that school.  Additionally, participating libraries agree to collect resources in subject areas which are not needed on a regular basis.

 

Library Automation assists school libraries with the development of resource sharing including an online card catalog, circulation management system and interlibrary loan. In preparation for library automation, the School Library System converts individual catalog cards into machine readable cataloging (MARC) records. These MARC records are the foundation of the library automation system and are used to create the online catalog for each library.  The School Library System also maintains an online union catalog of the holdings in each member library.  The union catalog may be accessed at http://slscat.fehb.org/m3.
