The Library's new home page

On March 1st www.library.upenn.edu began running the NCSA Web server software, and the Library was in the business of supporting its own home pages. As with most new Web services, it deserves to be labelled "under construction" and will probably evolve in detail and in scope in the near future (and thereafter). But the Library wanted to get started, and in particular, wanted your feedback on what they have done to date. So give it a try (URL: http://www.library.upenn.edu), tell your friends, and let the Library know what you think. Formal e-mail feedback is welcome by whatever means, but "pennlin@pobox" has been set aside specifically for this purpose. There are also Web-based mechanisms embedded into the various pages to solicit comments.
