Drexel Library School 
Is OCLC Affiliate

The Drexel University Graduate 
School of Library Science has become 
the first library school to be an educa­
tional affiliate of the Ohio College Li­
brary Center (O C LC ), Dean Guy Gar­
rison has announced.

The Graduate School of Library Sci­
ence will use the system totally for edu­
cational purposes, by special arrange­
ment with the OCLC Board of Directors. 
Access to the data base will allow stu­
dents to have direct hands-on experience 
in the classroom with one of the major 
technological innovations in the library 
field today.

Use of OCLC will supplement other 
on-line computer services already avail­
able through the school’s information sci­
ence laboratory, which presently provides 
access to bibliographic data bases 
through the System Development Cor­
poration and the Lockheed Missiles and 
Space Co. The school also has on-line ac­
cess to general-purpose computational fa­
cilities through the UNICOLL Corpora­
tion, a subsidiary of the University City 
Science Center, a regional consortium of 
educational and research institutions in 
the Philadelphia area.

Becoming an educational affiliate of 
OCLC is one more step in the expansion 
of the laboratory resources of the Gradu­
ate School of Library Science to accom­
modate a new doctoral program in li­
brary and information science and to en­
hance the existing master’s degree pro­
gram.
