[WEB4LIB] Academic Library Web Pages

[Sam Kalb]

Ours is a decentralized university campus with a great deal of local
autonomy among departments, etc.  In keeping with this organizational
culture, there is no central control over content or format.  Individual
departments may have their own webmasters to coordinate their sites.  There
are many web pages in the library system with a variety of styles, formats,
and content.  We do have  centralized coordination of pages linked to the
various public web pages.  The general philosophy in our library is to
encourage and support people in publishing to the web - not to place
obstacles in their path.

>the college's site.  Do you need to answer to the college's Webmaster or 
>does the library have autonomy.  I would really appreciate input on this

>College, and at present, we must answer to the College Webmaster.
