Accomplishments

The Livingston County Library has made its mark by bringing electronic information services to the community in four important ways.

• The library's homepage offers information about the library, the county, and the state, and links to selected information resources and search engines on the Internet (http://vax2.rain.gen.mo.us/~lclibrary/).
• The library offers access to the Internet and the World Wide Web, as well as the Livingston County Library homepage, at two public work stations.
• The library convened community meetings that led seven local telephone companies to establish a consortium to bring Internet access to northern Missouri.
• The library joined the state-supported MOREnet consortium as an early and active member to bring the statewide resources of academic, public, and school libraries to Livingston County and to provide, through MOREnet contracts, public access to journal indexing and texts at a reasonable cost.
