This column will focus on the Library, though I encourage readers to explore all of the Wellcome's Web sites. The Library's site is part of Library and information resources , though one can link directly to the library from other parts of the Wellcome's overall site. Like other sites in the Wellcome family, the Library's pages have a consistent design format that is used on every page at every level. Below the bar is a pull-down menu offering links to other locations on the site. The overall effect is that the page is attractive and easy to use.
Readers know exactly where to link to find pertinent information.
Those who want just the basic facts are spared from reading more than they want to know. Another good design feature is that the address, phone number, fax number, and E-mail address for the Library are given at the bottom of the home page, so users don't have to hunt for contact information. The Library's collections are separated into General Collections and Special Collections . Since the Library's site is so vast, I'll focus on the parts dealing with special collections, as that is most likely to be of interest to Watermark readers. Note that these three pages provide reports on the surveys and databases, along with information on how to use them, not the actual survey results and databases themselves.
