This report contains nine case studies of colleges
and mid-sized universities whose libraries have used new information
technologies to improve education on their campuses. Funded by a grant
from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, members of CLIR staff and one of
its advisory groups, the College Libraries Committee, studied the experience
of college libraries that use new information technology to enhance
library services and provide information resources to students and
faculty in innovative ways. The nine colleges and mid-sized universities
that participated in the study are: the California Institute of Technology;
Carnegie Mellon University; Indiana University/Purdue University at
Indianapolis; Lafayette College; Point Park College; Southern Utah
University; Stevens Institute of Technology; West Virginia Wesleyan
College; and Wellesley College.
Included at the beginning of the report are summaries of presentations
made at a follow-up conference to discuss the studies and ideas for
making change in higher education.
