We have recently begun offering classes on the Internet on our campus.
I think the library is the appropriate body to offer these courses,
because one of our jobs is to identify resources for our clients and
direct them to those resources. I do not think the computer center
is set up to evaluate and investigate resources on the Internet to determine
what might be of use to the campus community. Of course, the computer
center can show them how to get to the Internet, can give them the email
account that will make it all possible, but I think the Library is in a
position to be responsive to the particular needs of potential users of
the Internet as the road to online catalogs, databases, listservers, etc.
It seems an obvious role for the library to play.
