    Abstract
    With the increasing emphasis on student centered learning, the library at the university of Hull has taken several initiatives towards the creation of an awareness of networked electronic information resources on campus, encouraging their use in support of teaching and research. The 'free' access to Internet using JANET is explained, along with examples of the sort of data that can be browsed, and if required, downloaded. Discusses the use of Internet 'data' in computer based training is discussed, as well as e-mail and other online addresses (url). with some that might be useful to educationalists listed

    Abstract
    Describes the development of a Web Library Guide at Birmingham University, UK. Having developed a hypertext guide using Asymetrix Toolbook which gave guidance to users on the subjects and services available in the main library of the university, the information was repackaged for loading on to the WWW. Outlines the reasons for this move, explains the process of the transposition, and suggests future possibilities for the project

    Abstract
    The KMODDL (kinematic models for design digital library) is a digital library based on a historical collection of kinematic models made of steel and bronze. The digital library contains four types of learning modules including textual materials, QuickTime virtual reality movies, Java simulations, and stereolithographic files of the physical models. The authors report an evaluation study on the uses of the KMODDL in two undergraduate classes. This research reveals that the users in different classes encountered different usability problems, and reported quantitatively different subjective experiences. Further, the results indicate that depending on the subject area, the two user groups preferred different types of learning modules, resulting in different uses of the available materials and different learning outcomes. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for future digital library design.

    Abstract
    The author takes on the assertion posed in recent educational articles that technology is driving down book circulation and contributing to the decline of reading-center learning. In his interview with Richard Cochran, Dean of the Ferris State University Library for Information, Technology, and Education, the two discuss the importance of incorporating technology to support all types of learning, and using faculty buy-in to insure that as many media as possible are integrated into the final building design.

    Abstract
    Describes the work of a task force of librarians, at Illinois University at Chicago, in developing an introductory course on the online searching of the Internet and which was conducted over the University's electronic mail network. The 16 lesson course was distributed via listserv to students, staff, residents, and faculty (some using university facilities and some using equipment at their home or office) in various locations throughout the state. Initially, more than 450 people subscribes. Subscribers received 2 lessons a week for 8 weeks. Lessons were made available via FTP ot gopher after initial distribution. Content included basic information, troubleshooting advice, and exercises for practice. Pre and post tests were conducted via listserv to assess the participants' prior knowledge and subsequent knowledge gain. Describes the development of the online course, discusses the results of pre and post tests, and notes the implications for the library's instructional role of using an online instruction medium

    Abstract
    Federal legislation and increasing support for the full inclusion of all students in precollege education have resulted in higher expectations and increased participation of students with disabilities in academic programs that have prepared them for college studies. As a result, greater numbers of people with disabilities are attending postsecondary academic institutions and participating in distance learning offerings. This article focuses on the role that libraries can play in assuring that all distance learning students and instructors have access to the electronic resources they offer. It can be used to help libraries develop policies, guidelines, and procedures for making their electronic resources accessible to people with disabilities.

    Abstract
    Implementation of recommended design strategies can potentially allow any Web-based learning program to be made accessible to learners who use adaptive technologies. However, one of the greatest barriers to achieving this goal is the lack of authoring tools that support course content developers in adhering to existing accessibility guidelines. In order to ensure universal access, attention must be given to Web pages generated automatically by courseware programs, as well as those uploaded from an external source. Courseware authoring environments could easily include utilities to support developers in making their online resources accessible. This paper will review products recently available on the market using the guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative as a framework for analysis.

    Abstract
    Ähnlich spektakulär und informativ präsentieren sich auch die Astronomen: Ihr schier unerschöpflicher Fundus von Bildern und Filmen macht das "elektronische Universum" auf http://zebu.uoregon.edu ebenso einen Klick wert wie die Geschichte von "Geburt und Tod der Sterne" auf demselben Server (http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~js/astl22). Schnell gerät der Wissensdurstige auf reizvolle Seitenpfade, denn viele Vorlesungen glänzen mit sorgfältig zusammengestellten Linklisten. Die führen zum Beispiel zu den "Chemischen Briefen" Justus von Liebigs, wie sie im 19. Jahrhundert zunächst als Wissenschaftskolumne in der Augsburger Allgemeinen Zeitung erschienen (www.liebig-museum.de/chbriefe/homepage.htm). Selbst die Alchemie - neunzig ansprechend präsentierte Megabyte auf www.alchemywebsite. com - verleitet zum Verweilen. Historisches ist, weil nicht stets aktualisierungsbedürftig, ohnehin beliebt im Netz. So wartet etwa die Universität Groningen (Niederlande) mit einem voluminösen Hypertext auf, praktisch ein komplettes Lehrbuch der amerikanischen Geschichte mit Texten, Essays und Präsidentenbiografien (http://odur.let.rug.nl/usanew). Noch weiter zurück in die Vergangenheit reicht eine Anthropologen-Website über den Ursprung des Menschen (www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/5579/TA.html). Verspieltere Naturen werden dort zuerst fossile Schädel zuzuordnen versuchen ("Name That Skull") oder einem Anthropologiestudenten beim Wurf des Atlatl zusehen. Dieser frühe Wurfspeer machte schon den Mammuts zu schaffen und drang noch vor wenigen hundert Jahren durch die eiserne Rüstung spanischer Konquistadoren. Selbst Angewandtes bietet die World Lecture Hall. Etwa die "Geschichte der ökonomischen Denkweise" einschließlich eines 22-Minuten-"Interviews" mit Karl Marx auf www.boisestate.edu/econ/lreynol/web/het.htm. Oder Online-Sprachkurse: Wollof und Xhosa, Suaheli und Sanskrit lehrt http://www.word2word.vorn/courscad.html. Surfen allein fördert die akademische Karriere allerdings nicht unbedingt. Wer of fizielle Online-Zertifikate in Deutschland anstrebt, findet in dem Beitrag "Virtuelle Universität im Selbstversuch" (Spektrum der Wissenschaft 11/ 2001, S. 109) gute Startpunkte für das Studieren im Netz, angefangen bei - na wo wohl? - www.studieren-irre-netz.de."

    Bundesweite Förderprogramme und Landesinitiativen zur Verbreitung des computergestützten Lernens in der Aus- und Weiterbildung gaben den Ausschlag für eine Untersuchung des Einsatzes von E-Learning an deutschen Hochschulen. Durchgeführt wurde sie vom Institut für Medien- und Kompetenzforschung und dem Multimedia Kontor Hamburg. Gegründet wurde das Kontor von den staatlichen Hochschulen in Hamburg, die sich in einem gemeinsamen E-Learning-Consortium . zusammengeschlossen hallen. Das Kernergebnis der Studie, an der sich vor allem Hochschulen beteiligt haben, die diese neue Lernform tatsächlich einsetzen, lautet: E-LearnIng ist Bestandteil, aber nicht Alltag in der Hochschule. Danach setzt die Mehrheit von 86 der 95 befragten Hochschulen Computer in Lehrveranstal- tungen ein. Vor allem an großen und staatlichen Einrichtungen werden computergestützte Lernformen angeboten. Bei den Lernangeboten handelt es sich an 63 Hochschulen um Präsenzveranstaltungen mit Online-Unterstützung. Blended-Learning-Arrangements, also allgemein netzgestützte Angebote, und reine Online-Studiengänge werden nur an 40 beziehungsweise 22 Lehrstätten angeboten. Durchschnittlich setzen neun von zehn befragten Hochschulen aktuell E-Learning in ihren Lehrveranstaltungen ein. Ziel der Untersuchung war es auch, zu ermitteln, wie E-Learning-Angebote innerhalb verschiedener Studiengänge genutzt werden. Die Verfasser kommen zu dem Schluss, dass die Differenzierung der E-Learning-Angebote nach Fächergruppen deutliche Schwerpunkte erkennen lässt. So sind Disziplinen mit ausgeprägter Computeraffinität wie Informatik und Ingenieurwissenschaften neben Fächern mit hohen Studierendenzahlen wie etwa Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften klare Vorreiter in der neuen computergestützten Hochschullehre. Im Mittelfeld finden sich dagegen kreativ-gestalterische Studiengänge wie Kunst, Design und Mediengestaltung sowie Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften, aber auch Natur- und Umweltwissenschaften. Für diese lässt sich vermuten, dass aufgrund ihres hohen Praxisanteils der Computer hier nur bedingt zum Einsatz kommen kann. Dass Rechtswissenschaften und Technikstudiengänge auf den hinteren Plätzen rangieren, kann kaum überraschen. Denn hier wird der Computer nur selten als LehrLern-Medium eingesetzt. Anders sieht es aus in den medizinisch-pharmazeutischen Disziplinen. Denn in der Medizinerausbildung und -praxis kommen Computer häufig zum Einsatz. Die niedrigen Einsatzzahlen müssen daher erstaunen. Neben der Ermittlung des Umfangs und der Verteilung auf unterschiedliche Studiengänge analysierten die Autoren die Akzeptanzwerte von E-Learning-Angeboten. Befragt wurden, Hochschulvertreter. Die waren selbst weniger im Hochschulbetrieb eingebunden, sondern bekleideten Leitungspositionen. Rund die Hälfte von ihnen denkt, dass Lehrende gegenüber dem Einsatz von E-Learning-Angeboten positiv eingestellt sind. Jeder Neunte glaubt hingegen an eine Befürwortung klassischer Präsenzveranstaltungen. Eine höhere Akzeptanz vermuten die Befragten dabei bei den Lehrenden von Fachhochschulen. Auch den Studierenden insgesamt werden höhere Akzeptanzwerte bescheinigt. Die Befragten schätzen dabei aber, dass nur bis zu fünf Prozent aller Studierenden gegenwärtig mit E-Learning arbeiten. Die Befragten geben ferner Auskunft darüber, wie sie die Lernergebnisse unter Einsatz neuer Techniken einschätzen. Nur ein Viertel schätzt dabei die Qualität von Prüfungsergebnissen beim E-Learning im Vergleich zu Präsenzveranstaltungen als besser ein. Jeder Zweite kann keinen Qualitätsunterschied ausmachen. Allerdings geht die Hälfte der befragten Hochschulmitarbeiter davon aus, dass die Nutzer den neuen Technologie bis 2007 bessere Eregbnisse in Tests erzielen werden. Entsprechend prognostizieren die Befragten einen Anstieg der studentischen E-Learning-Nutzer innerhalb der nächsten Jahre: Drei von vier Hochschulvertretern kommen zu dem Schluss, dass künftig mehr Studierende mit Hilfe des Computers lernen werden."
