We have begun with some macro links to great directories such as the Virtual Library and the Social Science Information Gateway. We are also putting in specific links so students and faculty can go quickly to resources they want. We are less concerned at this point with hierarchical relationships and exhaustive listings than with providing research strategies and starting points that will help users navigate the ever changing universe of information resources. We rejoice in the opportunity to be redundant, referring to sites as often and in as many places as we think may be useful. Library staff monitor professional conferences and current alert services such as Scout Report, Librarian's Index to the Internet, New at Yahoo, etc. for resources that may be of use to students, faculty, and staff at GGU, and to the larger academic and business community.
Librarians welcome the opportunity to work with faculty, identifying resources for their courses.
Work with students, staff, and other website users also leads to great discoveries. As we go, we hope to find better ways to organize and format individual pages, and we especially want to integrate in guides to print sources in a way that does not discourage our clientele but rather encourages them to take full advantage of the broad spectrum of resources available.

Library Web Development outlines GGU University Library's current process of reviewing and revising goals, objectives, structure, content, design, style, procedures and maintenance. What follows is a description of the early development of this website.
