Users have grown to expect reliable, powerful and intuitive systems that do it all. The Web has raised library users' expectations for simplicity of use. At the same time the emphasis on customer service in academia has produced an atmosphere in which it is essential to adapt quickly to the changing needs of faculty and students. In this fast-paced, technology and customerdriven environment, the library as a slow-moving, stable institution is a thing of the past. To continue to succeed, academic libraries must transform themselves into high-performance organizations committed to delighting their users. This can only be accomplished if we have an accurate understanding of what the users need and want. This paper presents the results of a focus group study that was conducted to find out just that.Item Open Access First-Year Learning Communities: Redefining the Educational Roles of Academic Librarians(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) Taylor, Terry; Stamatoplos, TonyItem Open Access Intercepting Departmental Fumbles and Running with the Ball(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) Strout-Dapaz, Alexia; Odom, DennisItem Open Access The Improvisational Nature of the Change Process(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) Chu, Felix T.Item Open Access How Students Use Web-Based Tutorials and Library Assignments: Case Studies from The Ohio State University Libraries(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) O'Hanlon, Nancy; Roecker, FredUse of the World Wide Web to teach information retrieval skills to college students is a rather new phenomenon.

The increasing interest in these resources challenges collection development specialists to find more resources, technical services librarians to describe them, and public services librarians to support them. This paper addresses experiments underway in the Technical Services unit of the Albert R. Mann Library at Cornell University to make use of the underlying World Wide Web indexing technologies in a local setting, to develop new ways for catalogers to approach Internet resources, and to discover cost effective methods for approaching the wealth of resources available on the Internet. We have worked to link this new, more detailed information into the Cornell University Library Gateway, a local database of network-accessible resources. The authors discuss technological solutions for indexing large aggregations of Web resources, electronic serials, Web sites containing multiple file formats and Web sites that make use of frames.Item Open Access The Roles of Academic Librarians in Fostering a Pedagogy for Information Literacy(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) Leckie, Gloria; Fullerton, AnneItem Open Access In Search of Services: Analyzing the Findability of Links on CIC University Libraries' Web Pages(Association of College & Research Libraries, 1999) Dewey, Barbara I.This paper examines Web-based services from the 13 member libraries of the CIC (Committee on Institutional Cooperation).
