Automation staff will be available for consultation and will assist with ongoing support for Odum Library WWW homepages. This homepage will supply readers with information about the library, its services and departments. Library WWW homepage will be freely publicized and serve as Odum Library's link on the University's homepage. A second private Odum Library WWW homepage will be developed for internal communication, for example, the dissemination and archiving of various committee minutes, policy and procedure manuals, training documentation, collections or lists of resources and other work aids. The distribution of the address of the second internal homepage will be restricted and limited to Odum Library staff and faculty only.
Original work is the most valuable contribution that can be made.
Collections of pointers to the work of others, while a service that can be valuable, is not a substitute for original work. Library personnel should take advantage of the work of others, as cooperation and coordination are two prevailing principles among Web publishers on this campus and throughout the world. Rather than duplicating the work of others, take advantage of it by incorporating, as appropriate, links to the work of others into the page. Reducing redundancy enables the author to concentrate on original offerings. Personal homepages are allowed on the University's server.
