Northern New York Library Network

The Northern New York Library Network[1] is one of New York’s nine Reference and Research Resources Councils. These organizations are chartered by the New York State Board of Regents and charged with facilitating cooperative library services and improving reference and research resources for the people of New York.

The Northern New York Library Network’s service area consists of seven counties: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Oswego, and Jefferson. Network services include a shared regional catalog,[2] regional online historical newspapers,[3] and regional historical documents and images online.[4]

The network also provides a robust continuing education program, with classes in applied technology, library management, and best library practices. The current continuing education calendar may be found at http://www.nnyln.org/classesfacilities.html Education events are provided through distance learning technology as well as traditional classroom settings.

Other services provided to member libraries by the Network include: Medical Information Program – a service where doctors, nurses, and other health care providers in the region receive professional medical library service via a circuit rider program.

Resource Sharing Program: The Network provides ICICILL (url needed), a full-featured interlibrary loan web-based interlibrary loan management system which allows libraries to make requests to other Northern New York libraries and to track the status of those requests.

The Network provides support for ILLiad, and provides support for the surface delivery of research materials. The Network also provides fiscal support to for regional access research data bases, including WorldCat, regional newspapers, Wilson, and LWW.

Conservation and Preservation Program: The Network subsidizes a preservation microfilming program as well as ongoing conservation training, and assistance with disaster preparedness.

The Network is governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees, and functions under New York State law and New York State Education Department regulations. The Network’s Plan of Service provides a detailed overview of products and services available to member libraries. The Network’s web site at www.nnyln.org provides detail on all these programs.
