INTRODUCTION

• The Martin Luther King Library in downtown San Jose (corner of Fourth Street and East San Fernando) is a rare library in that it is the joint operation of public (San Jose Public Library) and academic (California State University San Jose) libraries.
• The result is a large (At least 1.5 million items) and highly varied collection of materials available to both the public and academic communities. Note: The number of items does not include the materials at San Jose Public Library's 17 branches.
• Virtually anything in the library can be checked out by both communities.
• Virtually all the databases offered by the respective library systems can be accessed by anyone in the library.
• Outside of the library, though, only currently registered SJSU students plus SJSU faculty and staff.
• The San Jose Public Library System, SJSU, and a few other libraries in the South Bay are members in Link+, which providess access to the five-million-plus titles (over 35 million total items) in over 35 other college and public libraries. These items can be delivered to the member library and branch
