Influenced by the popularity of Internet and World Wide Web software for information exchange, INFO has grown from a small database, residing on one computer on Busch Campus, to a distributed information system spanning all the Rutgers campuses. INFO's content is provided by various University departments and managed by the INFO staff. The INFO staff can provide graphics to enhance the visual appeal of the content. They can also set hypertext links between related items on INFO to help the user navigate the material, or to complimentary items on the Internet beyond Rutgers.
Material is grouped first by provider, and second by type.
Under that heading, however, the information is no longer grouped by type, but by provider. So you will find, for example, job postings listed under the Career Services area and under the Personnel area. INFO includes a powerful searching and indexing program to keep track of all of its resources. This program checks titles not only on the INFO and its related computers, but on every WWW page on every computer connected to the Rutgers network. INFO offers a variety of material provided by numerous administrative departments, colleges and academic departments, the library and computer services, and alumni and student organizations.
