Department is to support and promote the library's role in
providing services through Internet technologies and electronic
resources. The
department works with related library divisions to investigate,
acquire and facilitate access to the library's electronic
resources, including equipment and software, the library's
catalog and its databases. Feedback is encouraged from the
university community. |

| Reference Online Center |
The ROC is located adjacent to the Reference Desk. This lab is intended
for research purposes only. Since the lab is part of the university's
WIN computer domain, users must login with their CLID and password.
Approximately twenty four computer workstations offer access to
online databases via the Internet, the library’s
online catalog, MS Office, U.S. Government information and other
applications. Online databases support all areas of the curriculum
with indexing of academic
journals, popular magazines, newspapers and books. Many items are
available in full-text through these databases. Printing is directed
to the STEP Lab printers across the hall.
Due to increased demand for the ROC computers, the library has initiated
a reservation system for instructors who plan to use the lab with
their classes. If you plan to bring a class to the ROC lab, we
encourage you to
stop by or call (337)482-6030 to make sure the computers will
be reserved for your students. Reservations are made on a first-come,
first-served basis. |

| SMART Classroom |
| The library provides a SMART Classroom, equipped with a podium, computer
with Internet access, ceiling mounted projector, document camera, DVD,
VCR, motorized screen, web cam, microphone and enhanced sound and lighting. A telephone connection
is available for web conferences. Approximately thirty computers are provided for hands-on
use. Capacity is thirty users. |
| |
| Laptop Connections to the Internet |
| The UWIN wireless Internet connections in the library are available
for use by UL students, faculty, and staff only. Physical Internet
connections are located on the second floor hallway of the library.
All computer
users who
wish to use the UWIN network must register their computers on
the network and to do so must have a UCS account (CLID and Password).
This UCS account is
not available to non-UL patrons. The usual policies apply towards
use of the ULL campus network services; see the Computing
and Network Policy and the IT
Security Policy. For more information on connecting to UWIN go to
the UWIN Wireless page
and the Geaux page. |

| Laptop Lending Service |
| Staff is involved with the library's Laptop Lending Service, which circulates twenty-four laptops to students during daytime working hours. For more information, view the laptop
lending service web pages. |

| Web Sites and other applications |
To further serve the university and the library, ITWS has a responsibility
to expand and maintain the Dupré Library web site (http://library.louisiana.edu/), CampusGuides and other web applications.
The library web site contains information on the library and its services, mailboxes
for reference questions, interlibrary loan requests, acquisitions
requests, news listserv, and other features. CampusGuides is a highly-acclaimed web-based application used to create content-rich, 21st century, interactive multimedia guides to library resources. Other resources ITWS is involved in include the library's Moodle page, Archivists' TookKit, Google Sites and LinkedIn.
A Dupré Library Electronic Resources Committee oversees policies and
procedures regarding the incorporation of electronic journals
and other resources. Access to full text electronic journals is also
provided through the library's web
site. Efforts are continually being undertaken to provide remote
access to these journals, as well as other online databases. Responsibility
of the
design and content of specific library web pages are designated
to a specific representative of that particular department or service,
such as Special
Collections or Research. However, these web pages must maintain
a design consistent with the library's Web Site; any deviation from
the standard design
must be approved by the Head of ITWS. |
| |
| • Web Site Accessibility |
| |
| Since access to library resources by all university patrons is a primary mission of the library, it must attempt to maintain compliance with accessibility standards in the library's web site. For example, all pages must have "Alt" text alternatives when graphics are displayed. Animated and excessive graphics, blinking text, large files and multiple layers are discouraged. Alternate content, clear navigation and educated use of CSS are encouraged. To achieve accessibility, it is recommended that all library web pages conform to national and international web standards, led by the Web Accessibility Initiative at http://www.w3.org/WAI/Resources/. For more information on access, refer to the Dupré Library Access Policy. |
