Horizon StafPac Printing Tip

If you would like to print out search results from Horizon StafPac and the Print option is greyed out, just click on the File Menu and go down to Print Title.  You can choose to print brief title information or full title information.  If you make no selection from the list, the whole list of results will print.  Otherwise, select one or more results and only those selected results will print.

Digitized Children’s Books

The Rare Book & Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress has digitized a number of rare 19th and early 20th century children’s books from their collections.  Fifty of them are available from their website.

Cathy Wolford, DALNET’s Systems Librarian, is in the process of adding MARC records for this collection to the DALNET eLibrary project.   Once member libraries are part of the DALNET single database, they may choose to have these records also appear in their catalog. 

View the collection in the eLibrary here.
