In seeking to enable patrons to locate material (increasingly full-text) where they require it most -- in dormitories, in offices, in classrooms, or at home -- librarians are stressing the need to provide resources to faculty and students at locations other than the library building. As Hauptman and Anderson point out, what users desire is \"a \'seamless\' system [that] will integrate all types of information, whether accessible on site or deliverable from some distant location....Users just want to retrieve the information.\"1 With the advancement of the technological revolution, librarians will play a major role in meeting this expectation, continuing to be in the forefront of helping faculty, students, and others gain access to the vast multitudes of information -- whether digitized, print, or multimedia -- \". At a time when intellectual capital is encroaching on physical capital as the driving force in the world economy and order. Teaching and facilitating information access.
