Introduction: Toward the Integration of Library Resources and Services

Distant past: library as passive repository
Recent past: library as an assemblage of disparate information resources and services
Now: beginning the process of integrating those resources and services, both:

within the library
into the teaching, learning and research activities of the university as a whole

Example 1: "eLink": Direct to Fulltext
Example 2: "ENCompass for Resource Access": Multi-database Searching
Example 3: Persistent Links to Fulltext
Example 4: WebCT Import/Export: Library Resources Inside Online Course Tools
Example 5: "eHelp": Reintegrating the Reference Librarian into the Search

Conclusion: the Library as Nodal Point
