DEED-Net Participation
The LSU Health Sciences Center Library is pleased to announce its participation in the statewide grant initiative known as DEED-Net. This project was established with a grant from the Board of Regents and the acronym stands for Distance Education Electronic Document Delivery Network.
The project grew out of the cooperative efforts of the Louisiana Academic Library Information Network Consortium (LALINC). A mechanism was needed to facilitate fast access to remote materials, particularly for Distance Education (DE) programs.
Through the use of Ariel software (produced by the Resource Libraries Group or RLG), articles are scanned and then transmitted via the Internet to another Ariel workstation. This new system is more cost effective and less time-consuming than other delivery methods.
Since DE is the primary focus of this grant, the Library should be notified of any DE efforts at LSUHSC. If you are involved in a Distance Education project, please contact Kathy Kerdolff at the Isché Library (504-568-6102 or kkerdo@lsumc.edu link removed) or Liz Strother at the Dental Library (504-619-8507 or estrot@lsumc.edu link removed) for information and services for your students.
