Call for Submissions: Immigrant Writing in New York State
E. H. Butler Library will participate in "Immigrant Writing in New York State," a program sponsored by the New York Center for the Book during the month of April. The library is preparing an exhibition and is seeking examples of writings—books, short stories, newspaper or journal articles, letters, diaries—by immigrants to New York State. Photographs also will be included. Faculty and staff interested in contributing pertinent items, personal or otherwise, should contact Barbara Vaughan, chair of the E. H. Butler Library Exhibits Committee, at ext. 6317 or vaughabj@buffalostate.edu. All materials will be secured and will be returned at the close of the exhibition.

New Library Catalog
E. H. Butler Library has a new online catalog with expanded search capabilities. This Web-based catalog, ALEPH 500, offers new options, including a choice of basic or advanced search, the ability to view previous searches, and a link for quick access to other SUNY library catalogs.

ALEPH 500, a fully integrated library system designed by Ex Libris, was unanimously chosen by the SUNY Library Automation Migration Evaluation Team as the SUNYConnect Library Management System. All SUNY libraries are expected to implement ALEPH by 2006.

Search the new catalog at www.buffalostate.edu/library. Watch for continued enhancements during the semester.
