8 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, May 10, 1995 4 'U' home to world's first cyberspace librar 0 By Kristin Johnson For the Daily The days of sorting through library stacks and consulting University librar- ians are not gone yet. The future of the Internet Public Li- brary, the University's experimental cyberspace library, is still under examina- tion by its creators, users and students. The system is the first worldwide library resource sponsored by a university. "The Internet Public Library began as a phrase in my mind. It just came to me," said Joseph Janes, an associate pro- fessor at the School of Information and Library Studies. The Intemet library sprang from Janes' seminaron information technology, which he taught last semester. Janes and the seminar's 35 students set out toexplore the possibilities of an Intemet library. This new resource remained after the end of the original course. The Internet library has enabled exploration of current SILS issues, mainly a consid- eration of librarianship in a digital age. announcements AGE-OLD UTICA Antiques Market May 13-14.

CALL: 1-800-KAP-TEST get a higher score KAPLAN By Frank C. Lee Daily Staff Reporter Ervin Dewain Mitchell Jr. --already accused of being the Ann Arbor serial rap- ist -has recently been connected to an- other brutal rape of a 16-year-old high school student in Inkster, Mich. Mitchell, 33, has been charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of attempted mur- der. Prosecutors charged Mitchell with the crimes on April 21 after DNA evidence recovered from the May 1993 rape and beating matched Mitchell's DNA profile. The preliminary examination for that sexual assault is scheduled for May 17. Scientists fromthe Michigan State Po- lice Crime Lab'sDNA unitin East Lansing discovered the connection to the Inkster sexual assault. These experts also testified in March and established a possible link between Mitchell and semen samples found on four of five Ann Arbor victims. The DNA evidence is the first direct link between Mitchell and the Ann Arbor sexual assaults because the three surviving victims at the examination had been un- able to name Mitchell as their attacker. On March 9, Washtenaw County Cir- cuit Court Judge Donad Shelton issued a gag order prohibiting police, attorneys and witnesses involved with the Mitchell case from talking to the press to ensure that the defendant receives a fair trial. No charges were brought in the fifth and the latest attack on an Ann Arbor woman due to a lack of semen left on the victim, leading the police to suspect that a r condom was used. - On March 2, W a s h t e n a w County Prosecutor f Brian Mackie charged Mitchell « with one count of __. A first-degree mur- Mitchell der and four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct spanning a two and half year period. First-degree murder carries a manda- tory sentence of life in prison without pa- role. First-degree criminal sexual con- duct could also carry a life sentence. The trial for the Ann Arbor rape and murder charges is scheduled for May 30 in Shelton's court. On April 27, the judge ruled on 11 pretrial motions. Shelton granted defense's motions to hire a private investigator and an inde- pendent DNA expert, as well as allow the jury to view the crime scenes. Motions to postpone the trial date, to move the trial out of Washtenaw County because of pretrial publicity and to sup- press some of the evidence were denied. At the March preliminary examina- tion, DNA testimony convinced 15th Dis- trict Court Judge Ann Mattson to find probable cause for Mitchell to stand trial. The judge's decision concluded three days of testimony from more than 204w - nesses, including statements from the t rape victims and their families, law en- forcement officials and medical personnel. Mitchell remains in Washtenaw County jail after his alleged involvement in a Christmas Eve assault and attempted purse snatching of an Ann Arbor woman. The robbery trial has been recently post- poned until the trial for the major counts have been resolved. The defendant was wearing a blood glove at the time of his arrest on Christm Day. DNA tests conducted on the glove allegedly used in the robbery and Mitchell's blood were the break police needed in their investigation.
