Once the freeze-dried books are processed, the Library will implement a collection augmentation program. Recoverable damaged materials will be processed then shelved with the already shelved gift books. Then, the Library staff will start to purchase books that are still needed to replace volumes lost. Despite strong advancements in the allocation and development of research databases, the flood put the Libraries’ digital resources under a microscope. Without research volumes and journals, users had two options if they needed a resource that had been damaged in the flood: to borrow through Interlibrary Loan or to access a database that provided the resources they were seeking. The Libraries moved quickly to prepare for the start of the Fall semester in 1997. The Interlibrary Loan Department developed new systems and electronic packages that resulted in nation recognition as a leader in document delivery. The Libraries also increased its database volume to 400 to serve students, scholars, and the Colorado community.
