The library will hire four tempo-
rary full-time employees to help with
a $4.5 million automation project,
which will use computers to catalog
the materials in libraries in the
district's three colleges.
The colleges include this college
and Palo Alto and St. Philip's col-
leges. The library will hire two full-
time temporary librarians and two
learning resource technicians for the
project, Oscar Metzger, library di-
rector at this college, said Monday.
The first staff member will be
added Feb. 5. The others will be
added as soon as they can be hired,
he said.
The new system will make the
current card catalog system obso-
lete.
