Research Service
Added To Learning
Resource Center
The Mercyhurst Learning
Resource Center has recently ad-
ded a new service to aid resear-
chers with their work. The ser-
vice, known as DIALOG, makes
available bibliographic and
abstract records from more than
one hundred different data bases.
According to LRC Director
Joan Cooper, DIALOG is "a tool
that makes finding information
thousands of times faster than
would be possible with hand-
searching. She adds that it will
be especially useful for par-
ticipants in'the college's
graduate programs, and for pro-
fessors doing research.
Those who wish to utilize the
new service developed by the

The Middle States Evaluation
Team will be visiting Mercyhurst
Campus April 26 through 28, ac-
cording to Dr. Vivetta Petronio,
who headed the organization of
the Middle States Self Study.
Petronio stated the Evaluation
team's intent is to assure that the
college's operations are consis-
tent with those intentions and
facts presented in the Self Study.
The team reserves therightto in-
terview any member of the facul-

all who consider themselves
"computer illiterates" this may
sound frightening. ^However,
reference librarian Judith
Bradley explains that the process
is very much like that of using a
card catalogue; a general topic is
gradually refined until the
specific information desired can
be found. Bradley, who has had
extensive training with the ser-
vice, will aid researchers in both
developing strategies, and in us-
ing DIALOG.

she 'feels systems such as
DIALOG are "really the way of
the future," she does not believe
they* will replace books and

In celebration of National
Library Week, "hands-on"
demonstrations of the new
system are being offered on April
22 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and April
27 from 9:00-10:00 a.m.

evaluation team on Wednesday

Petronio confirmed that denial
of accreditation rarely occurred,
and that she anticipates no pro-
blems with the self study. "What
could be given," explained
Petronio, "is an accreditation
with conditions attached that we
would have to fulfill in a certain
amount of time."
Petronio said that the self study
team began working back in
February of 1980 and held their
final meeting just before spring
break. Both Petronio and Dr.
David Palmer, academic dean,
edited the entire copy of the self
study before publication.

Criminology, is the first credible
text in the field which exclusively
covers criminal justice and
criminology, according to Hagan.
Most texts in the discipline are
concerned with sociological and
psychological aspects of the field*
Hagan confirmed that one other
book in criminology has been on
the market for a short time, but it
has been deemed inappropriate
by critics and professors.
"If the book catches on," stated
Hagan, "what out students are
getting in their classes will be the
state of the field." Currently, the
text has been adopted by such in-
stitutions as Indiana University,
San Jose, Northeastern ;
Michigan State and Alabama.
Macmillan Co. also distributes to
the British Isles in the West In-
dies, which could lead Hagan's
effort to international repute.
Hagan attributes the text's im-
mediate acceptance and success
to the great abyss in criminology
research writing and studies. "In
the seventies, a lot of esoteric
research was done," said Hagan,
"but the middle ground was not
covered. Macmillan was wise in
recognizing the gap in the area."
Hagan worked on the book
under a contract which legally
bound Macmillan to publish.

Qwik Print Billing Changes
The Business Services Office at
Mercyhurst has issued a memo
explaining Qwik Print billing
changes for the Student Activities
Committee, yearbook, student
government, and the Merciad.
According to]the March 31
memo, Qwik Print will begin bill-
ing the above agencies directly as
of April 2 at 5:30 p.m. Previous to
April 2, the college acted as an
agent between the agency and
Qwik Print. * The groups involved can now
In addition, Qwik Print has
established a * minimum billing
charge of $ l o per month. A mon-
thly tab of less than $10 will have
to be paid when the printing is
completed. ™:
John Maus, director of
Business Services said that Mer-
cyhurst pays Qwik Print for in-
house services and then bills the
college department for the
charges.
Maus stated that the memo

reason for the change, he said,

"It was costing us more that

Maus.
