Regular visitors to the CCI Web site will already be familiar with
the numerous enhancements that have been added to the re-designed
site since it was launched in July 1999. Users now have access to
an online Bookstore, improved Services and Learning Opportunities
sections, and a Conservation Information database. And in our continuing
quest to improve the site, we have recently added the CCI Library
Catalogue.
The CCI library houses one of the finest conservation and museology
collections in the world, consisting of more than 10000 books and
400 journal subscriptions on a wide range of topics. You can now
browse these collections from the convenience of your own desktop.
Simple searches can be done on title, author, subject, content,
and a variety of other search fields. Multi-field searches can also
be performed.

With the exception of rare and fragile material, reference books,
and journals, the CCI library will provide inter-library loans to
Canadian and American libraries and direct loans to Canadian heritage
organizations (e.g. museums, archives, and provincial museum associations)
without their own library services. Photocopies of conference papers
and articles from journals and books, for use in research or private
study in compliance with copyright law, are available to Canadian
and international clients if the original material cannot be obtained
in their area. The CCI Library Catalogue has already become one
of the most popular sections of our Web site.
As for the future of the site, let me whet your appetite! Virtual
tours of the labs, a searchable image gallery, a public/youth-oriented
section, online registration for professional development workshops,
and a discussion forum are just a few of the items currently in
the works.
We invite you to visit the CCI Web site regularly. If you have
comments, suggestions, or questions, you can contact Client Services,
the CCI Webmaster, or the CCI library directly from the site. We
look forward to hearing from you.
