"All of the lakes, except Superior, usually rise substantially in March, but a combina- tion of below-average precipitation and low runoff due to a light snow cover kept lake levels down" explained Ralph Moulton, Manager of the Great Lakes Water level Communications Centre in Burlington. "As a result, Lake Superior's level drop- ped twice the amount of its usual March decline; Lakes Huron and St. Clair did not change significantly; and Lakes Erie and Ontario rose only about 2.5 centimetres in comparison to their usual rise of 15 cen- timetres in March." In February low supplieq Paused an unseasonal decline in lake levels at a time when three of the lakes usually begin their seasonal rise. In early April, levels on Lakes St. Clair and Erie were 6.4 centimetres and 11 cen- timetres below those recorded at the same time last year. Lake'Ontario's level was 11 centimetres below that of early April, 1986. On Lake Huron, the water level was 12 cen- timetres below that recorded at the same time last year. On Lake St. Clair, a possible increase in water levels was further prevented by a raid -March ice jam in the St. Clair River which reduced the inflow to the lake. Lake Ontario benefitted from higher than normal outflows through its control structures all winter made possible by the exceptionally mild weather. ctotmeir 5a' Stylish Spring & Summer Fashions For Her...

F.`rHVALUE PEOPLE TRUST PEOPLES Library moves into electronic age This has been called the Information Age and Huron County Library is ready to be part of it. Using state of the art technology Huron County Library is building a machine-readable catalog using optical laser disks. But what is more ex- citing is the fact that this is being done -in cooperation with 20 other libraries in the Province. OLC Ontario Consortium represents a group of county, city and town libraries that have agreed to pursue the goal of automation together. OLC was founded two years ago to look at future automation projects for county and medium sized city libraries. A deci- sion was made in 1986'to place the catalogs of all the libraries on a single data base. The technology chosen to do this•uses laser disks. Each library has a set of four 5.5 inch disks which contain 5 million records of books in the Library of Congress. The library uses a personal computer and checks its titles against these disks and puts any it finds onto floppy disks. These disks are sent to the OLC to be incor- porated into the combined data base. Books that are not found in the laser disks will be checked against a larger data base by Brodart Automation, a company which has been hired to produce the Database. In a years time all the libraries will have sub- mitted their catalog records and OLC will produce a single laser disk with the 600,000 titles of the twenty-one libraries. This disk can be searched by author, title, subject, key word or numeric keys. Users will be able to use the sophisticated search techni- ques that are used in on-line searching without the expense of going to an on-line system. The system will also be very 'user friend' with a beginners mode for the novice. This is the largest cooperative venture ever undertaken by public libraries in On- tario. It is also a unique example of cooperation betwen all levels of govern- ment (Local, Provincial and Federal). Local authorities have committed $300,000 over three years to the project. The Pro- vincial Ministry of Citizenship and Culture has made a grant of $476,600 and the Federal Government's Ministry of Employment and Immigration has provid- ed Job Development Grants to train and employ computer operators. Each library has two or three workers hired through the Job Development Branch, to search the disks and input the titles. OLC has organiz- ed a year long training program to train these workers not only in the specific library application but in general com- puter operations such as word processing, spreadsheets and data base management. At the end of the year the workers will be able to find a job in the work place as skill- ed computer operators. The course is con- ducted by Lambton College in Sarnia which will give certificates to the suc- cessful workers. Huron County Library is contributing about $18,684 over three years towards a catalog building project based on a cost of $.26 a title. This cost includes an IBM com- puter, a CD ROM Player, Laser Disks and the final OLC Laser Disk Catalog. OLC has organized the Job Development Grants and the training program. Lambton Coun- ty Library has contracted to act as the pro- ject management team for O1,C with Ron Baker the Lambton County Librarian, ac- ting as the Chief Executive Officer. OLC expects to present a plan to its member libraries by the fall in ways to use its new Database to automate other func- tions in the Library. At present libraries keep most of their records on cards which have to be filed and changed each time a transaction takes place. In the near future, these transactions can be done at elec- tronic speeds allowing the staff to spend more time in helping the public. The elec- tronic library is just around the corner for Huron County Library.
