pilot project in the province,
launched earlier this year, and
we'll be watching it with-a great

He added, “‘If the people on
the North Coast'can make that
work, it may become the model
for a number of projects that
could be simultaneously. carried
out across the province.

“It could lead ultimately to a

province wide network. That's

not outside the realms of possi-

’ Pukesh referred to the net-

work as.an inexpensive way to

increase information resources
in the fate of the increasing

most public libraries.

“It’s an opportune time to
assess its value and see what its
impact is on the delivery of in-
formation services up here.”
