Integrating digital resources into a traditional university research library

An ongoing project at the University of South Carolina involves the integration of digital resources within a traditional university research library. The purpose of this project is to locate, arrange and disseminate those academic resources on the Internet that will provide value to the classroom and research laboratory. Items being collected are limited to discrete, catalogable items such as full-text books, journals, artworks, movies, calculators and applets. Supporting functions such as database access, reserve collection and interlibrary loan can also be integrated into the design.
