New Ag deon
adjusting to
surroundings
By Leah Perich
StaffWriter
This year the new Dean of the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture has something in
common with most new students here at
CSUF—a new city, a new school and new
faces.
Dr. Dan Bartel has been at CSUF for
three weeks now, and is enjoying his new
job as dean while getting used to his new
surroundings. > ,
"I have a lot to learn. I am not a native of
California so I have to get used to it I'm
from Texas and Montana so the climate is
similar, adjusting [to that J is not a problem,"
Bartel said. \
As far as school goes, "anytime you
change administration there is always an
adjustment time."
Originally bom in M inncapolis and raised
in Illinois, Bartel is no stranger to traveling
and moving.
He said/Tve taught at Illinois, Texas
Tech., Montana State and Oklahoma State.
When an opportunity came up, I moved on
to the bigger and bet tec
And so he ended up here.
'This institution is not bigger [in size],.
the bigness is agriculture and its importance
to the state and to this valley," Bartel said.
Bartel also said he chose CSUF for other
reasons.
• 'When I came here to interview I was
also looking at other opportunities. But the
faculty and school and people across the
campus, I felt very comfortable with."
But that's not the only thing he liked.
"The most refresning thing is the open¬
ness," Bartel said. "There is a broader sense
of the world here. The administration is
more open to new views. In the Southern—
West they are pretty set in their ways."
As for his first year here, Bartel has a few
plans in mind.
"I am going to spend a lot of time getting
to know people in the community. See what
they're interested in," he said:
Bartel would like to see if community
members can help the agriculture depart¬
ment by investing in it.
He also said, "The students are very
important I am very interested in under¬
graduate education. I'd like to focus on
working with and teaching the undergrad
education."
' Overall, Bartel is going to take his first
year one step at a time and "see what it is
we're all about and where we're going to

U
Students benefit from library sevices
By Amie Goodrich
StaffWriter
Despite recent budget problems, the
Henry Madden Library is still providing
new resources for both students and faculty
members.* These resources include; ALIS,
LEXIS/N^XIS/MEDIS, and a greater
availability of films and video tapes.
The new addition that may impact the
greatest number of library-goers is the in¬
stallation of the automated library integrated
system, otherwise known as ALIS. This
system, which will eventually replace the
card catalogues, can help locate stack and
reference books, government documents,
music scores, sound and video recordings,
maps, and more.
According to Reference Librarian Ber-
nice Lacks, ALIS has many advantages
when compared to the traditional card cata¬
logue. First of all, it is much less time
consuming. "There are a lot of search
options, including subject author, title, or
just portions of the title if the full name is not
known."
All of this can be done at one terminal
with a few quick keystrokes.
"For added convenience, there are ter¬
minals all over the library/and ALIS can
also be reached through any computer on
campus or at a private home if the user has
access to the campus data network." Lacks
said. "It is also possible to access a library
calendar and operating hours through
ALIS."
.The library staff, which is very inter¬
ested in user response, conducted a survey
of reactions to A LIS over the summer. Forms
were left by the computer terminals to be
filled out by anyone who wanted his of her
opinions known. •
"We have die ability to implement
changes," said Reference Librarian Trina
Carter. "Many things are flexible, and we
want a system that best suits its users." -j
The response to the survey"waT6ver-
whelmingly positive.
"Most people found the instructions to
be clear and were able to find what they
were looking for." Carter said. "The ap¬
proval rating was over 80 percent"
One thing that Carter would like to stress
is that "people aren't on their own when
using ALIS, there are always reference li¬
brarians on hand to assist anyone who has a
problem."
