WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT POLICY

Frazar Memorial Library is first and foremost dedicated to supporting the curriculum and research needs of McNeese State University students, faculty, and staff. To do this all information formats must be utilized. The library cannot only supply print materials, but must look to electronic resources that may be useful to the McNeese community.

The Frazar Memorial Library Web Site is the vehicle by which the library provides access to a variety of electronic resources to the McNeese community. The primary purpose of the library's Web Site is to provide information about the library, to provide access to a variety of electronic information resources, and to support the research and instruction missions of McNeese State University. Electronic resources include, the online catalog, online databases, and full-text articles.

To aid in conducting research via the World Wide Web, the library faculty have also selected links to sites related to various academic disciplines. These sites are critically evaluated by the librarian for currency, accuracy, and relevance to McNeese students and faculty. It is based on this analysis that a link to a web site may be included on the Frazar Memorial Library Web Site. Also since the library is a Federal and Louisiana Depository Library, the Documents staff will maintain a web page of accessible government information resources to meet the needs of people living in the 7th Congressional District of Louisiana.

Any requests for additions or changes to the Frazar Memorial Library Web Site should be submitted to the Library Web Committee for consideration. Selection of a site does not constitute endorsement of any advertisers on that page or its commercial sponsors. All sites selected will be re-evaluated on a continuing basis. Suggestions are welcome.

In creation of the Frazar Memorial Library Web Site, the library follows the policies and guidelines of the American Library Association and McNeese State University. For more information, consult the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights and McNeese State University's Information Technology Resources Policy, Mission/Purpose Statement, and the general policies on academic freedom as stated in the Faculty Staff Handbook of McNeese State University.
