Re: Statewide databases

Florida has a statewide union catalog of the resources in the school media
centers called Sunlink.  It isn't complete yet, but its goal is to contain
the collection information from all school media centers in Florida.

My school belongs, and we have used the database to find books that we
don't have, but that might be found in another nearby school.  We have also
used it as a cataloging tool.  It is not full text.  The individual schools
are responsible for paying for any costs of interlibrary loan.

The University of Central Florida coordinates this project. Donna Baumbach
can give you more information about it.  Her address is
Baumbad@mail.firn.edu.  Hope this helps.
