While cloud computing is not new, cloud-based services have matured and become more prevalent, thereby offering a range of new technology tools for libraries.

Partnering To Teach Orienteering: The Ut Libraries' And Ut Outdoor Program's Experience, Gregory H. March, Benjamin Darnell

Non-honors program students likely encounter the same difficulties in locating and using resources …
