Remote access to campus networked resources was a top priority for students taking web-based courses. One college offered web-based courses to 300 students. Almost all of its students live in the college's service area. Many come to campus for information. For those who don't, the college is putting links to many resources on its library web site.
Libraries play an increasingly important role in support of web-based teaching and learning.
The responders indicated that the Internet was a major source of information for their web-based students. However, students can easily get lost in cyberspace. We all know that the information we need is out there. It is the librarians' role to help students find the information as quickly as possible. Librarians need to learn both how to search effectively on the Internet, and how to evaluate web sources.
