Foreword
This operational report of Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources continues in the tradition of making visible the notable additions to the collections, and the progress of building and improving the capacity of the endowed and other funds to support the ever-expanding appetites of Stanford faculty and students for the collections and services we support. It also highlights the special contributions made by staff, members of various advisory groups, and especially donors to SUL /AIR.
In addition, we focus in this report on the digital domain. While previous reports have focused upon Academic Information Resources only briefly, this one covers Academic Computing and the Digital Library Program extensively. In each of these arenas,
SUL /AIR is improving its services to the Stanford community, thereby continuing to make distinctive contributions to the methods used by the academy at large, particularly in the United States.
In drawing your attention to particular aspects of our work in this report, we do not want to give the impression that there is under-emphasis on our traditional and entrepreneurial operations. If you desire more information than is supplied herein or wish to comment back to us with advice, challenges, or moral support, we are more than receptive and will respond as fully as we can.
Appearing on the following pages are some of the last two years' highlights and major undertakings of the Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources.
