The Lewis Library Web Site

The library's web site assists in marketing the Library's resources and services both on campus and to new and under-represented constituencies. It facilitates the Library's goal to become an increasingly vital component in the University by making available information resources critical to the needs of UNTHSC. It reflects the Library's leading role in the management of scholarly information and the exploitation of information technology for the benefit of teaching, research, and patient care.

The web site allows quick access to the experienced user while simultaneously using a navigational structure that leads the novice user to appropriate resources. It provides easy access to information resources regardless of the user's location, and provides access by authenticated users to license-restricted resources. The web site complies with state-mandated regulations regarding accessibility for the disabled.

The Web Content Group, in collaboration with Information Technology Services, takes the lead role in coordinating the design, creation, and maintenance of the Library's website in a manner consistent with UNTHSC and State of Texas policies. The Web Content Group receives input from appropriate Library staff on the inclusion and content of specific pages and develops web-based tools and resources tailored to meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of the Library's users.
