The Problem:  Finding a good starting point for student research.

The Solution:  Create your own!!!!

    1.  Develop an online "launch pad" for research;

    2.  Make that page either your library web page or a subsidiary page on a
         larger library website;

    3.  Set your "launch pad" for research page as the home page on all
         computers students will be using for research.
 

Assumption for This Class:

You have a basic knowledge of web page creation using Netscape Composer.
