, 1991, we had a locally developed system, which did, indeed, interface with the accounting office as well. We therefore had some previous experience in this area that could be applied to the NOTIS environment, but of course much needed to be modified. We interface with our accounting office on a weekly basis in the areas of invoice payment and vendor input and update. Many of the NOTIS reports that we run, are fairly standard, and as a result it is not necessary to discuss many of them in detail. However, many reports are special to Syracuse University in terms of our interface, and it is on those which we intend to concentrate. The fund code scheme has significant bearing on our interface (Figure 1).
A t Hamilton College, the library has adopted a policy of aggressive collaboration with Information Technology Services (ITS). We believe it is in the best interest of our students and faculty, as well as in the best interest of the library, to foster a spirit of collaboration with ITS and to actively seek out opportunities for such collaboration. In this article I will discuss the ways the library and ITS have collaborated over the past four years, the benefits of this collaboration, and some of the issues we have encountered. I will also discuss three main examples of collaboration: the Multimedia Presentation Center, the HILLgroup, and the Information Commons. BackgroundThe Hamilton College Library and ITS are sep arate entities with different reporting lines. The library has a professional staff of five public ser vices librarians, three technical services librar ians, and two systems professionals, as well as approximately 20 FTE support staff. ITS has a staff of 26.5, divided into seven teams. The two that work most closely with the library are Instructional Technology Support Services
