Through our Elsevier consortial deal with Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa, we are able to delete duplicate subscriptions between the three universities. By mid-May we will have access to 213 additional titles for the duration of the contract (through Dec 2007, or longer if the contract is renewed). Expect to see another large batch of titles activated in early 2006. Look for an announcement on our home page when the new titles are available!
To view a list of titles to be activated in May, go to:

You may be familiar with WebCT and Blackboard. Have you heard about ICON? Iowa Courses Online (ICON) is the name for a new centrally-supported Course Management System (CMS) being implemented on campus. Pioneer faculty members will be able to request accounts on this system beginning in May 2005.
Hardin librarians are hooked in to the ongoing developments of this e-learning system and are beginning to plan for the integration of library resources and services. The goal is to better equip faculty and instructors with material for teaching, while exposing students to information resource tools that will enhance their learning and research. Hardin Library is excited about the possibilities for enhancing its existing reference service, curriculum-integrated instruction, web course design and instructional media services. Our librarians and instructional developers are particularly excited about the possibilities for using this system as a platform for collaboration with faculty members and instructors
More information about the campus E-Learning initiative, CMS selection process, and the ongoing CMS implementation process is available at:
http://www.uiowa.edu/~provost/elearning/cms_implementation/index.shtml
If you would like to see a demonstration of ICON or talk with a Hardin librarian about possibilities for collaboration, contact Jim Duncan, Assistant Director for Technology Services, at 319/335/6928 or jim-duncan@uiowa.edu.
