REGINA LIBRARY
INTERNET POLICY STATEMENT
Purpose
In order to supplement print resources and provide faculty and students
with a comprehensive array of research and instructional materials,
professional staff will review, select for inclusion, and maintain an
"Internet Resources" component of the Regina Library home
page.
Policy Statement
Regina Library endorses the following criteria for the inclusion
of documents in the "Internet Resources" component of Regina
Library’s web site which will consist of general/reference resources
and subject resources intended to support the instruction and research
efforts of the college community.
- Emphasis will
be placed on those subject areas that reflect the College’s curriculum
and enrollment numbers in academic disciplines.
- In general,
Internet resources that enhance the scholarly and instructional pursuits
of the College (research and teaching) will be collected, evaluated,
and added to the Internet Resources component.
- Internet resources
selected for inclusion should have an indication of authorship (individual(s),
corporations organizations, or associations) and their qualifications
and/or affiliations with established institutions.
- The purpose
or intent of selected documents will be readily indicated. Documents
whose main purpose is to inform or instruct are preferred. Resources
that advertise a product or service are discouraged from inclusion.
- Web sites selected
for inclusion should indicate when pages were last revised and/or
published. Documents without a readily available date or publication
will be considered only if other criteria for inclusion are strong.
Staff will periodically review documents in the Internet Resources
component for timeliness of information, relevancy, and accurate address.
- Regina Library
is not responsible for and cannot control the content or accuracy
of information in chosen web sites, although all attempts will be
made to assure quality by following the above criteria outline. The
Library does not have control over currency of date, validity, or
changes made to resources or to links from resources. That resources
are unpredictably available or unavailable is also beyond the Library’s
control.
- Due to the volume
and vast array of subjects on the Internet, Regina Library urges library
patrons to be informed users and carefully evaluate information they
find. Library staff is available to assist patrons in making judgments
about the reliability or currency of Internet resources but cannot
provide a definitive analysis of the information.
