Demonstrating the World Wide Web as an academic research tool
Tóm tắt
ACADEMIC LIBRARIANS, as experienced World Wide Web (WWW) users, are well-positioned to demonstrate the benefits of using the Web to do scholarly research. College administrators and faculty may be skeptical about the usefulness of the Internet for academic research and reluctant to use the tool as a way to enhance their traditional methods of professional inquiry. As a means of addressing this problem, we prepared an introduction to the Web for an audience of the Chief Academic Officers at our University and include in this article the HTML code which readers can modify to meet local needs. The demonstration was designed to excite and stimulate those present with examples of the many possibilities for collaboration and academic research. The presentation was based on a simple HTML document with descriptions and links to virtual and real library sites that are notable for their scholarly focus and for the gateway they provide to information in a range of academic disciplines. Librarians or other electronic information specialists should consider the potential for creating and customizing a similar HTML document in order to inform academicians in their universities and to help them see the many possibilities that the Web offers for doing research.
