MIRLYN Continued from Page A Many students said the current MIRLYN is difficult to use, and that it could be greatly improved. "I think it's kind of confusing when you get to the first page to know where you're supposed to go. If I hadn't taken research classes, I wouldn't know where to go for things like PsycINFO," LSA senior Payal Patel said, referring to one of the library's databases. One of the biggest complaints of students is the difficulty of searching for articles through all of the separate databases. "It's so hard to use. It's hard to find things if you want journal arti- cles as opposed to books," LSA senior The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 16, 2004 - 7A Mike Levy said. The Implementation Steering Com- mittee which will set up the new MIR- LYN hopes to solve these problems with the new software. Additionally, such a large research university needs a system that will allow researchers to do more complex searches, MacAdam said. "One of the most important improvements for scholarly research is the ability to display records in the ver- nacular of more than 20 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic and Korean," she said. The Implementation Steering Com- mittee has been working for two years to select an appropriate system. They signed a contract with vendor Ex Libris in 2002 to adopt the same system that is used at large research institutions such as Harvard University, the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology and the University of California, she said. The Implementation Steering Com- mittee also wants to make the transi- tion as easy as possible for students and researchers, MacAdam said. "The switch to production date is July 6, 2004. The date was picked very consciously because it's a time of rela- tive peace on campus, so if anything unexpected occurs we will have time to deal with it well before fall," MacAdam said. "We're going to teach classes on the new MIRLYN, provide handouts and online help through our chat reference service 'Ask Us Now.'"' LGBT Continued from Page IA same-sex marriage should be left up to the states, while U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and the Rev. Al Sharpton support same-sex marriage and full benefits for gay couples. "I don't think Kerry is the best Democratic candidate to represent the LGBT community. I'm glad he supports civil unions, but the ideal candidate would be someone who totally supports equal rights," said MBA student Marisa Uchin, co-pres- ident of Open For Business, a group for gay students in the Business School. "It's hard to say who would be a better candidate than Kerry because the only person who sup- ports total equality for the LGBT community is Kucinich, and he's not a realistic candidate." Kucinich is currently sixth in num- ber of delegates won. On several other important gay issues, Kerry's views have been better received among the LGBT community. He opposed former President Bill Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" poli- "It's hard to say who would be a better candidate than Kerry because the only person who supports total equality for the LGBT community is Kucinich, and he's not a realistic candidate.' - Marisa Uchin Co-president of Open for Business, a group for gay Business School students V-DAY Continued from Page 1A "The T-shirts are (anonymous) but they are also a loud and strong testament to the fact that these horrible things really do happen," she said. Co-sponsored by the University's Sexual Assault Preven- tion and Awareness Center, the shirts will be donated to a national organization called The Clothesline Project. The Vagina Monologues was produced and performed in two shows yesterday by a group of students involved in this year's V-Day Campaign. The show ran for the fourth year in a row at the Power Center. Ninety percent of the proceeds will go to SAFE House, a domestic violence shelter in Ann Arbor, and the Bat- tered Women's Clemency Project, a group that prepares and files clemency petitions for women who have been the michigan daily imprisoned for killing their abusers. The remaining 10 percent of the profits will be donat- ed to Casa Amiga, an international organization chosen by Ensler that investigates the deaths of hundreds of women in Juarez, Mexico, who have disappeared and then been found murdered days later. BRAWL Continued from Page 1A incident warrants further investigation. He added that the police officers distributed MIP citations because those were the crimes they saw on arrival. "These are kids fighting between fraternities. It's child- ish nonsense, and we have more important crimes to pur- sue," Seyfried said. "It would be a tremendous expenditure of resources that we don't have." cy regarding gays in the military, and he supports adoption by gay men and women. He also hopes to expand fed- eral hate crimes legislation and was one of the original sponsors of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. "Since the day John Kerry started his campaign in the Senate, he has made LGBT rights part of his plat- form because he feels they are essential to making America live up to its dream of equality for all," said LSA junior Paul Spurgeon, a mem- ber of the University's Stonewall Democrats and chair of Students for Kerry. "Kerry has shown as a Viet- nam veteran that people should not be threatened by members of the military serving openly and that het- erosexuality is not something required. On the issue of adoption, his message is one of understanding and compassion, in which the Amer- ican people define what a family is, not the government." While not all members of the LGBT community believe that Kerry is the best candidate to represent them, many feel that any candidate would better promote equality for gays than President Bush. "Any of the remaining Democratic candidates will be an advocate for LGBT Americans and will present a clear alternative to President Bush;" said LSA senior Ken Nadolski, chair of the Stonewall Democrats.
