LIBRARY SYSTEMS UW/ISM SHARED SYSTEMS
Discussions with ISM on the development of shared library systems included:
- Outsourcing of library computer systems
- Technical services outsourcing

standards and costs; the other two are still under investigation.

to UWINFO:
- An enhanced Library "area" appeared in the summer of 1993 and during the
year resources and services were expanded
- Library staff investigated the World Wide Web application and developed
an implementation plan for a Library-based WWW server which includes training,
technical support, design, and participation from a wide range of library
staff
- In response to the recommendation of the 1990 Library Review, student representatives
were invited to participate in the development of the application
