Micropower and IHE Libraries Together in Consortium

If you have been wondering where your IHE librarian has been this week, I shall tell you:  at the library of our sister school, Micropower Career Institute (http://www.mpow.edu/), specifically, the Manhattan campus.  (There are also campuses in Newark, Queens, Mineola, and Hauppage.)  Like IHE, Micropower offers programs for adults who want to become certified medical or dental assistants and EKG and Phlebotomy technicians.  There are also programs in computer networking, becoming a nurse's aide, and computerized business accounting.  Also like IHE, Micropower has classes for students of English as a second language.

The Manhattan campus has books, CDs, DVDs, and other materials about these subjects, so I have been organizing and cataloging them.  You can even look them up in IHELLO, the same online catalog used for IHE Library materials.  If you want to find books at Micropower, you can use "Micropower" as a search term.

When you find a resource in IHELLO, look at the bottom of the screen:

Status Bar Code Branch Location Call Number Volume Issue
IN30003970MicropowerStacksQA76.3 .A5624 2008

IN30003977MicropowerStacksQA76.3 .A5624 2008


Notice that in the Branch column is the word Micropower.  As you can imagine, this means that the book is at Micropower.  (If this column were blank, the book would be located at IHE.)

If you are an IHE student and you find a book at Micropower's library in IHELLO (or vice versa), contact your librarian.

IHELLO stands for the Institute for Health Education Lending Library Online, but now that the library also includes Micropower's resources, should we change the name?  Maybe to MIHELLO? MILO?
