Emory has about 150 e-mail systems 2 major ones are available from the library. Emory is encouraging faculty to use technology for teaching. We saw students using the library workstations for e-mail conferencing. The computers in the stacks only have access to the online catalog. A bank of MACs greets patrons at the door.
Access here is to the online catalog and e-mail.
The reference desk computers have a full range of software loaded so that personnel at the desk can do other tasks, i.e. spreadsheets, data management, etc. Access to electronic resources is through the catalog. There is not a separate listing of electronic resources. When staff personnel are not on the desk, they do web development, general instruction on the use of the online catalog and general instruction for some social science classes. The staff serves as back-up to the librarians for subject specific instruction.
