History professor creates new library A University of Kansas history professor has developed a state-of-the-art computer library, making more than 1,000 texts and documents accessible to users around the world. By Julie Howe Kansan staff writer The system, which contains historical and religious documents, reference materials, literature and various other items, went on-line in August after Lynn Nelson created it working part-time for about three weeks. Nelson, a medieval historian, named the library CARRIE, in honor of Carrie Watson, KU's first librarian. The idea of the electronic library came to Nelson when he saw students waiting to get books from the reserve collection at Watson Library. Most of the materials in the system are accessible through other means on the Internet, Nelson said, but with CARRIE, the connections already have been established. This makes the system easier to use because the user does not have to know where a document is located to access it. "I thought, "there should be an easier way to do that." Nelson said. Anyone can access the library from any computer that is connected to the Internet. Anyone can log onto CARRIE, a newly created electronic library. To log on from KUHUB, log on as "relay". Then enter "telnet ukaniaz" and press enter. Log in as "carrie." When asked for a terminal, press enter. "It's made for ease of use," he said. "It's meant to be empowering." "The electronic library will give people the opportunity to look at references without leaving home." Eickwort said. has over a traditional library is that many people can use the same resources at the same time, said Rob Eickwort, Ithaca, N.Y., graduate student. This eliminates the need for waiting lists for certain materials. The system will be especially helpful at smaller schools where students do not have access to libraries as extensive as those at KU. system, Nelson said, and new documents are being added almost every day. The library can also help KU students save money, Nelson said. Many of the texts in the system are required for common English, history or other classes. Students, faculty members or anyone who thinks something should be available can put new items into the "I can't keep up with the new stuff ers and read or look over them at their convenience. A student could save $30 a year easily by using the library instead of buying the books, he said. Nelson said he became more confident about the system in November or December after having a chance to check repeatedly for errors. Students can download texts onto the hard drives of their own comput- "It's in good shape now," he said, though it is still under construction. because I haven't gone through all the old stuff," Nelson said. "I'm running very hard to keep up with what's already there." The system is complicated because of the large number of connections, he said, and the possibility of human error is great. An advantage the electronic library Nelson said he received help from KU Computing Services when he needed technical assistance while creating the library. "But it will be under construction as long as the Internet keeps growing," Nelson said. Celebration of King continues across Kansas Official unhappy with move of museum The Associated Press WICHITA, Kan. — Sedgwick County's handling of plans to move Wichita's Black history museum is another example of the neglect and exclusivity that has plagued Black Americans, a museum official told a rally on Martin Luther King Day. The rally at the historic Calvary Baptist Church, which houses the museum of the First National Black Historical Society of Kansas, was one of several events around the state yesterday marking the birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Observances began last week in Toneka. The Rev. A.L. Simpson, president of the historical society, told about 50 people that Blacks had been excluded from planning for moving the Calvary Baptist Church to make room for expanding the county jail. Simpson said racism was to blame. "We have not been heard," Simpson said. "We have not been called to any table until the meal has been prepared, the first, second and third courses have been served, and there's very little dessert left." Simpson said in an interview he and others were offended that county government planned the jail expansion, drew up plans for moving the museum from its original site — where Blacks first settled in Wichita — and then asked the Wichita black community to sign off on the proposals. Sedgwick County officials are recommending moving the museum about a block to a more visible location on Main Street. County Commissioner Tom Winters said at the time of the commission's Dec. 21 vote on moving the museum that he was convinced it The state's historic preservation board is scheduled to consider the museum question at its Feb. 25 meeting in Topeka. would be too expensive to handle the jail expansion any other way. Simpson said the ideal plan would be to leave the museum on its corner lot and expand it into a cultural complex that encompasses the rest of the block, which is now a county employee parking lot. "It's not a racial issue. It's a tax issue." Winter said. ment of Black culture and history, and it's met with plans to take it away and build a bigger jail in its place," she said. Carol Konek, a Wichita State University associate dean of liberal arts who attended the rally, said the museum issue was an ironic and powerful metaphor for what has happened in society as a whole. In Junction City, about 500 people gathered at the municipal building for a King commemoration. Speaker Frederick Reid noted that Kwanzaa, the traditional African holiday celebrating the first fruits of the harvest, is widely observed in the United States around the time of Christmas and New Year's.
