Academic Libraries Access to Information Computer Networks Document Delivery Educational Resources Electronic Libraries Environmental Education Higher Education Information Technology Integrated Library Systems Internet Library Automation Microcomputers Online Catalogs Online Searching Optical Data Disks Users (Information) Workstations This final report describes a two-year project to create a library-supported Scholar's Workstation that provides convenient, timely user access to information in or near the scholar's workplace, particularly in relation to environmental studies. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) librarians demonstrated current and emerging information technologies in an electronic version of a branch library by using the Scholar's Workstation as a prototype for the individual desktop workstation. Objectives accomplished during the project included: (1) making a wide selection of electronic resources--the library OPAC, citation databases, electronic journals, an interactive interlibrary loan (ILL) form, and Internet services--available on microcomputer workstations at four sites external to the library; (2) installing appropriate software and developing menus to access electronic information sources; (3) training users for self-sufficiency in searching, accessing, and managing online information resources; (4) involving library school students in training users, providing on-site assistance and technical support, and data gathering and analysis of the project; (5) providing document delivery through several alternative options; (6) describing usage patterns; and (7) assessing the value of the Scholar's Workstation. Appendices include the Scholar's Workstation promotional poster and brochure; sample pages from the documentation notebook; sample web pages; slides from an American Library Association presentation; excerpts from project diaries; survey results; survey pre- and post-tests; and program press clippings. A financial status report is also included. (SWC) |
