University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

The purpose of the New Members Round Table is to help new librarians and other library workers make contact with people in the library profession. So, we are very excited about our new project called Conference Connections. The first annual Conference Connections festivities will kick off this year at the NLNNEMA annual convention in Kearney, October 17-19. We have activities scheduled for people who are new to NLA. Even those who have been to the conference many times are welcome to participate!

Putting Webct To Work In The Library, Athena Hoeppner

Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

WebCT is the most widely used package online course creation, management, and delivery. Originally designed to help non-technical faculty deliver semester-length courses over the web, WebCT is now used by libraries to deliver various types of library instruction. The University of Central Florida licensed WebCT in 1997, and the Library created the WebLUIS Tutorial in WebCT by 1998. This presentation overviews the UCF Libaries' use of WebCT for a library OPAC tutorial and reports on a 5-question survey posted to a library email list. The responding 11 institutions revealed many similarities in their use of WebCT. The most striking revelation …

Public Access To Legal Resources On The Internet, Alice M. Mccanless

The Southeastern Librarian

In the not so distant past, before the Internet, doing legal research necessitated access to either a substantial law collection or one of the expensive legal databases, Lexis-Nexis or Westlaw. That limited legal reference to law librarians, some special librarians and reference librarians at large university or public libraries. The Internet has changed all of that, giving any library with an Internet connection access to a wealth of current law, especially at the state and federal level.

Based on a presentation at the Joint Conference of the Georgia Council of Media Organizations and Southeastern Library Association on October 12, 2000.

Testing The Design Of A Library Information Gateway, W. Bede Mitchell, Laura Davidson, Virginia Branch, Lynne Lysiak

The Southeastern Librarian

In autumn of 1999, the library World Wide Websites at Appalachian State University and Georgia Southern University had been in place for more than a year, and many library users reported that certain aspects of the sites’ designs were confusing. In order to alleviate the confusion, librarians from the two universities decided to redesign the sites by determining the greatest sources of confusion. To do this, we studied how patrons used the web sites by way of user-centered usability testing.
