THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI LIBRARIES' SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
VIRTUAL READING ROOM

The McCain Library & Archives at The University of Southern Mississippi is
pleased to announce the launch of its new Website, The Special Collections
Virtual Reading Room.  By translating traditional reading room activities
into an online environment, the site enhances access to physical and
virtual resources.  Its most innovative feature allows users to search
full-text the 540 finding aids that describe and inventory the USM
Libraries' unique primary sources in Archives, the de Grummond Children's
Literature Collection, and its other special collections. In addition, the
Virtual Reading Room allows searching of the vertical file indexes and
other guides to collections.

The site also offers an overview of the collections held in McCain Library,
contact information, news and exhibits, and instructional information.
Users will find direct hyperlinks to the online catalog, databases, and
soon, the digital media archive. Other points of interest include new
Mississippiana/Other Special Collections pages and the Civil Rights in
Mississippi Digital Archive with full-text oral history transcripts with
selected audio clips.

To access the Special Collections Virtual Reading Room, point your browser
