SELCO

PILLSBURY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE JOINS THE SELCO INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM

On June 17, the library catalog at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in Owatonna will be networked with 84 other public, school, academic and special library catalogs throughout Southeastern Minnesota as part of the SELCO Integrated Library System. Students and staff using the college library’s online catalog or going to www.selco.info will be able to search and select books and materials from the 2,000,000 items listed in the combined SELCO member catalogs. SELCO’s delivery service will convey requested items to the Pillsbury College Library for pick-up. The SELCO catalog also provides a MnLINK gateway for borrowing materials from other Minnesota colleges and universities.

SELCO Director Ann B. Hutton believes that the more libraries that share their resources via the combined online catalog, the greater the benefit to 220,000 registered borrowers in the SELCO region. The SELCO (Southeastern Libraries Cooperating) Regional Library System, with headquarters in Rochester, serves Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha and Winona counties.

Pillsbury College, www.pillsbury.edu, offers subjects in arts and sciences leading to a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Associates Degree, or Certificate of Bible Studies. Pillsbury also offers a post-secondary education program. The college campus is located at 315 South Grove Avenue in Owatonna. About 150 students are currently enrolled at Pillsbury.

Funding for the project was provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a Federal agency that fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, through the Minnesota State Library Agency under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
