Adapting Quality Service Concepts to the Academic Library Environment. ULS News. March 1999, pp. 6-7. Abstract: This article presents an overview of the issues
regarding adapting quality service concepts designed for the business environment
to an academic non-profit library environment. Complex and often conflicting
customer needs as well as the tension between an educational model and
a pure service model for library services are discussed. This article suggests
that quality service concepts must be adapted for the academic library
environment, but can be used effectively to keep our "customers" coming
back and enhance the overall quality of the library and the services we
provide.

Growing Pains at REESWeb: Thoughts on Restructuring a Link Site Which Has Outgrown Its Organization. Journal of Internet Cataloging 1:3 (1998), 47-57. Abstract: REESWeb: Russian and East European Studies Internet Resources is an annotated, subject-specific link site, part of the World Wide Web Virtual Library, begun in 1992-1993. In its four years it has become a huge site and difficult to use. A reorganization last year using Frames and shortened pages helped, but its structure still causes problems for users. There are four basic reasons why the site is difficult to use in its present form: no search engine, split categories, idiosyncratic terminology and idiosyncratic subcategorization. The search engine problem will be solved soon after the site moves to a new server. Another simple improvement will be to create a map of the site. These two changes by themselves are not enough, because the site needs increased browsability. The author explores various considerations involved in reorganizing REESWeb, taken from other Web sites, from subject cataloging and from indexing. NOTE: both the abstract and the article are now a bit out of date, since REESWeb has now been moved to a new server, a search engine is functioning, and it is being moved from flat HTML files to database format. My collaborator and I will add subject descriptors to the annotations in the near future.
