Great Lakes situation is improving, say s ministry
A winter -long pattern of below-average
precipitation over the Great Lakes con-
tinued in March to have favourable effects
upon lake water levels, says Enyironment
Canada in a monthly news release.
"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.

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.
