Building Upon the MyLibrary Concept to Better Meet the Information Needs of College Students

Overview In the years following the creation of MyLibrary@NCState in 1998, there have been several dozen implementations worldwide of MyLibrary-like portal systems on academic library websites. However, adoption rates of these services rarely exceed 10% of the potential user community. For the Fall 2002 semester, the University of Rochester Libraries implemented "CoURse Resources" built upon the MyLibrary concept but overcoming many of the usual barriers to adoption because the service dynamically generates web pages tailored to university course offerings, thereby meeting the immediate information needs of students in their medium of choice.
