[0] Shared Catalog/Circulation System with Willamette University and the State of Oregon Law Library [1] Government Research and Electronic Services [3] Instead of having our own standalone computer system for our library catalog, circulation system, and acquisitions system, we share a computer system with Willamette University (Hatfield Library and Law Library) and the State of Oregon Law Library (Judicial Dept.). Not only does this save all the libraries a significant amount of money to host and maintain the computer system, it makes it easy for our users to access the collections of any of the four libraries. [4] If the State Library were to staff, host, and pay annual software maintenance costs on its own automated library system, the annual cost is estimated to be $83,250. The annual cost of our participation in the Hatfield Library Consortium shared automated system is currently $21,178. [2] 
All users of the State Library collections.
