The Oregon Public Access Catalog Project

When former Assistant Oregon State Librarian (now Iowa State Librarian) Shirley George talked about the Oregon State Library's pioneering OPAC system, she began with a story about another Oregon State librarian, a spunky, turn‐of‐the‐century innovator named Cornelia Marvin. According to George, Cornelia was energetic, determined, and very much committed to getting information to the public using any means available.
