As I see it, we are not currently in dire lack of electronic resources here at LaGuardia. But our faculty and students do need to acquire the requisite skills to search what we do have, and to integrate them into the teaching and learning process.
Technology is a mixed bag.
It has its promises and its threats and that keeps it exciting and challenging all at once. What we all have to get used to is the constant and rapid change inherent in the technological realm. It will keep us marching comfortably and and elegantly along the digital superhighway. Users will have, at the click of the mouse, access to a lot more information than they have ever imagined. For instance, the web-based catalog for books and media will offer our students much more connectivity to various areas of its content and provide in addition, hypertext links to related websites.
