Research Strategies (2000)

Abstract
This article explores creative ways libraries are using the web for instruction and to support faculty use of the web for teaching. A review of the literature, examination of web pages at 100 academic institutions, and correspondence with over 50 library user instruction coordinators were conducted as part of the author's sabbatical project. A variety of web-based instruction tools are highlighted. Important issues related to web-based instruction including identifying user needs, planning, faculty/librarian collaboration, as well as marketing and evaluation of web-related instruction are included in the discussion.
