Tutt Library Announces JOURNAL FINDER
Find over 17,000 journals fast!

As the number of subscriptions to electronic journals and databases of periodical collections has grown, finding all the resources available to our users has become increasingly complex. Tutt Library has purchased a service from TDNet to provide a unified list of all our electronic and print journals, including content from database providers such as Ebsco, JSTOR, Elsevier, OCLC First Search, Lexis Nexis Academic Universe, and many others. Users can search by journal title and link directly to the electronic holdings or the TIGER record of print holdings. TDNet receives updates from the database providers and updates our site weekly. The library will also be able to generate use statistics on electronic journals to inform future purchasing decisions, prepare subject lists and support other management functions. Find Journal Finder on the library's home page under the Article/Information Databases heading.

Learn more ... Journal Finder will be the focus of the January 30 Tutt Library Lunch and Learn session.

Elsevier Science acquired the journals published by Academic Press last year and has incorporated the IDEAL (Academic Press) journals into the Science Direct service. Tutt Library negotiated a new license with Elsevier to continue to provide electronic access to all the Academic Press titles as well as access to the electronic versions of Elsevier Science journals that we already receive in print. The addition of Elsevier content increases the number of electronic journals available to Colorado College users by 32. In addition, we negotiated a reduced document delivery fee for our Interlibrary Loan office for articles from Elsevier titles that we do not subscribe to. All Elsevier and Academic Press titles in our package are cataloged in TIGER or may be searched through the Elsevier Science Direct database.

Music Index Online: A Subject-Author Guide to Music Periodical Literature, 1979-2002

Friends of theLibrary Honored for 25 Years
of Support

Tutt Library celebrated 25 years of the Friend of the Library at a reception on December 6, 2002. For the last quarter century, the Friends contributed time, energy, and money to Tutt Library in a number of creative ways. In 1981, the Friends established an annual student assistant award, a cash prize known in alternating years as the Manly Dayton Ormes Award and the Louise Fielding Kampf Award. In the 1980s and 1990s, they sponsored "Sundays at Tutt," a lecture program on book history and Colorado, and ran the annual book sale, a hugely popular community event.

They also bought materials for Special Collections and the stacks, and funded professional development, digitization projects, and an annual ice cream social for new CC students.

Over the years, the Friends have given Special Collections materials ranging from a Sumerian cuneiform, or clay tablet, from 2032 B.C. to 20th century fine press books like Ken Campbell's Fire Dogs. Other donations include a beautiful first edition of the Federalist Papers (1788), a collection of 19th century Cripple Creek mining records, and a luxurious facsimile of the Great Domesday Book (1086, facsimile printed 1986).

When the Friends disbanded in 2002, they made a generous gift to Special Collections of what remained in their coffers - about $12,000. The library has used the funds to purchase early editions of Helen Hunt Jackson's books and fine press books of the West.

Double Fold - Preserving Historic Newspapers at Tutt Library

The Gazette is the most stable, longest-running publication in Colorado Springs. It is our best - and sometimes only - window into the history of the city and its inhabitants. There are several existing copies of The Gazette archives in microform (microfiche and microfilm), such as those held by the Colorado Historical Society and the Colorado Springs Carnegie Library, and a limited number of bound paper copies are held by the Pioneers Museum. Colorado College's Tutt Library maintains the only complete collection of the actual newspapers in bound volumes, in addition to the microform.

Our archive collection begins with the March 23, 1872 issue of Out West and continues with the Colorado Springs Gazette up to the 1940s and then The Gazette-Telegraph to 1973.

Until December 2002, the library's collection was in a shelving area constructed from cement blocks and particleboard. These makeshift shelves were buckling under the weight of the volumes and causing pressure on the bindings. Sustained pressure weakens the bindings and, because the old pages are very brittle, a broken binding can easily cause the pages to tear and crumble. The heavy bound newspaper volumes were piled five and even six volumes high, making retrieval difficult and unsafe for the staff.

Last year the college appealed to The Gazette for support to upgrade the storage for our historical newspapers. With a generous grant from The Gazette and matching funds from the library, we installed new movable shelving and new lighting over the winter break. Additional shelving space was created by the project and more bound newspapers will be shifted to this area from the second floor archives area. We are grateful to The Gazette, the CC Development Office, and Facilities for their support of this project.
