1994

Automation hits the Library

In Fall 1994, the Library brought up its new online catalog system as a group effort with a consortium formed by the libraries from Spartanburg, Greenville, Tricounty and York Technical Colleges.  SCC launched this catalog under the name of STACS....STACS stands for Spartanburg Tech's Automated Catalog System.  STACS served the SCC community well.  Below are scenes from when the old card catalog file drawers were carted off in the Summer of 1995, never to be missed.  Thank you, automation!

New Teaching Lab

During 1995 a grant from the Spartanburg Community College Foundation allowed the creation of teaching lab for the library. 10 PCs and computer workstations were purchased with this grant providing the library the equipment and location for hands on teaching.

Renovation
1998 brought a renovation to the library. New carpet, paint, additional shelving, reupholstering of all furnishings, and state of the art technology improvements came with this renovation which was completed over the Christmas holiday period. The 1970 orange color scheme was updated to a more modern blue color scheme. This renovation added new space for bibliographic instruction featuring additional hands on opportunities for students with the addition of new computer workstations.
