My scholarly work is most generally in the area of facilitating
electronic access for faculty and students, and takes the form of
systematic searching of the constantly expanding resource base of
the Internet, combined with teaching skills in searching and text-
creation.  In the last 8 months I have concentrated on the World
Wide Web, and since October I have worked extensively with image
resources.  The 'output format' of this work is the Campus
Information System (http://liberty.uc.wlu.edu); I am intending to
give a presentation of this work at EDUCOM in October 1995.
  
Teaching in courses with members of the Biology and Psychology
departments has also led me to extensive reading in these
disciplines.
