Library was one of two academic libraries to win the inaugural netConnect Library Web Site Award sponsored by netConnect, Library Journal,
School Library Journal, and Jones e-global library, a publisher of
internet-based academic research collections.
The awards are accompanied by grants of $1,500.
Features
of the Library site identified by the award as “exemplary work that can be
emulated across the industry” include a customized interface to the online
catalog, an automatically-generated new acquisitions list, subject-oriented
guides integrating access to library research materials and remote electronic
resources, an e-journal targeted at librarians involved in compact disc
collection building, and support for information literacy instruction.
The Web
Design Committee is chaired by Gail Golderman, electronic media librarian.
Members include Bruce Connolly, David Fuller, David Gerhan, and Annette
LeClair.
