[Dobbs, Aaron]

We (in the library) emphasize our url & gloss over the campus www page
(which is mostly geared to prospective & new students), it helps that the
web server name is intuitive (library.apsu.edu)

In cases like this, where multiple levels have to be traversed to get to
the library, most times I've seen that it does make it much more
difficult for users to reach you.

One of the things we end up doing at the Help Desk is showing people how
to get to the library page from the main university page.
