Open access to the paper was an additional, unanticipated benefit of using hypertext. Innovative projects such as this one are sure to become more common as we familiarize ourselves with the Web. The advantages and capabilities Internet- based documents offer far surpass those of plain text. In a world of sight, sound, motion and scent, words don't always convey enough meaning. Showing students how to express their ideas using multiple media forms will open their eyes to the Information Age and vault Colgate into the heart of the digital revolution.
Numerous projects are currently in the works.
The alumni office is continually adding to their pages. Club information and a national calendar of events are their latest projects, and plans for posting reunion information are under way. The Scene has embraced the digital age too. Down the line, the University Bookstore is looking to an on-line version of its gift catalogue, and a couple of alumni have asked about creating pages for their class years. Colgate's next step is to bring the entire campus up to speed with the capabilities available to us now.
