Linda GrenzWelcome! My name is Linda Grenz, and I am the Library Information Technology Coordinator here at Lane. My job consists of working with my colleagues to present library services to students, faculty, and staff.
Recently, there have been many new web developments that libraries can tap into. Many use Web 2.0 technologies that include RSS, Podcasts, tagging, user reviews/comments, chat, blogging, wikis, and social networking. Read more about Web 2.0 and how we are using Web 2.0 in the Library.
Coming soon: View the archives of designs and the "Next Generation" online catalogs.
