MONTICELLO'S JEFFERSON LIBRARY IS NOW OPEN CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The Jefferson Library, a 15,500-square-foot facility devoted to the life, times, and legacy of Thomas Jefferson, is now open, and the "Thomas Jefferson Portal" online catalog has been launched. The catalog is built on Endeavor's "Voyager" integrated library software with worldwide access at <http://tjportal.monticello.org/>. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Inc., the nonprofit organization that owns and operates Monticello, hosted the official Dedication ceremony, on April 13, the 259th anniversary of Jefferson's birth. Comments were offered by U.S. Sen. George Allen, Gov. Mark R. Warner, and University of Virginia President John T. Casteen III. Keynote speaker was historian and author David McCullough, winner of the 2002 biography Pulitzer Prize for "John Adams." Selections of Mr. McCullough's comments may be viewed at http://www.monticello.org/streaming/speakers/librarydedication.html. The library contains shelf space for 28,000 volumes, a special collections room, a central reading room, two conference rooms, an informal "common" room, a multimedia center, and 20 offices, including those of the editorial staff of "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson: Retirement Series." The facility also features high-speed Internet connections throughout the building. The Jefferson Library is open to the public, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and electronic reference services are available.
