Electronic reserves via web

[Emily R Hurn]

Here at UMass, we are beginning to explore methods of delivering 
electronic reserve materials.  Has anyone used (or considered using) a 
web server to do this?  It would seem to have the advantage of not being 
platform-specific, and, compared to some other methods, relatively easy 
in terms of getting the documents ready.  I'd be interested in hearing 
thoughts on the pros and cons of this, and especially any major 
drawbacks that haven't yet hit us between the eyes.  If anyone is using 
other ways of mounting electronic reserves, I'd be interested in your 
comments on those, too.

Thanks in advance for your help.
