Standard style sheets and other features were implemented to make our web site more readily accessible from remote locations and by persons with visual disabilities. We added new original content to our site, including a tutorial, a bibliography of Library faculty publications, and an annotated set of links to other LIS libraries. We mounted a new page for off-campus students, which includes a FAQ and quick links to relevant sites. Reference service is relatively undemanding due to the expertise of our clientele. In general, students in distance education courses make heavy use of the library during their short times on campus.
Electronic reserves are no longer a pilot program but a core process.
So far the workload and costs have been reasonable. Also in support of electronic reserves, we worked with a pair of graduate students on the design of an internal database for tracking e-reserve materials from semester to semester. We continued to provide current awareness service through the virtual new books shelf and the table of contents service. We intensified efforts to share information about upcoming conferences and calls for papers with Library faculty. We made a successful proposal to the Nonprint Competition for an expensive videotape.
