Non--Traditional Roles for the Library

One question we should ask is who at UMBC should manage the how electronic information is presented to students. If we don't do this coherently, it will be difficult for the users to integrate ITT into their daily work. We should explore the possibility of giving the library overall responsibility for integrating academically oriented networked information that originates both within UMBC and elsewhere. This will become more important as the number of information providers increases and the user potentially has more difficulty in choosing the best path for retrieving needed documents.
