Each page was constructed with elements that could be used by a wide variety of browsers, images viewable from early versions of Netscape and up. The purpose of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library web site is threefold. Today the site is also a gateway to paid subscriptions to developing WWW resources such as electronic indexes and journals. Second, it informs and instructs library users about valuable library resources, services, and personnel located in the various departments and divisions of our building. Third, the site is an interactive medium through which the Library may offer services such as its online forms for interlibrary loan or communication through its e-mail links for general comments or to contact specific librarians or staff members.
Several projects are under development.
New online indexes, journals, and other resources are continually being added to the site. Likewise, Internet subscriptions continue to be added to the online catalog. The Howard-Tilton Memorial Library site is now one of many library web sites at Tulane University. Some, like those of Special Collections , the Latin American Library and the Maxwell Music Library , are maintained within the Howard-Tilton library building itself. Others include separate sites maintained by the Turchin Business Library , the Matas Medical Library , the Tulane Law Library , and the independent Amistad Research Center .
