Accomplishments

Strategic planning and staff training have prepared the library to expand information technology services as funding and ready partners have become available. The following initiatives are most notable.

• The library joined with schools, a community college, and a county vocational-technical high school to form the CamNet network (http://www.camden.lib.nj.us/camnet.html/), which connects members to the Camden County Library catalog, online journals, and resources on the Internet.
• Since December 1995 all branches have been connected to the Internet, and since mid-1996 they have used the Internet to communicate within the library system and with other CamNet members and the world.
• The public may search the Internet from five public workstations.
• The library’s World Wide Web homepage (http://www.camden.lib.nj.us/), presents a view of the Camden County Library and selected information resources on the Internet selected by the library staff.
