Connections to NSFNET: Development of a Wide Area Prototype Connectivity Infrastructure

伊利诺伊大学-芝加哥- K. DahlenID，u与NSFNET提案号的连接。伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）需要通过国家科学基金网（NSFNET）大力扩展其校园内资源的连接。同时，大学需要提供一种手段，将互联网资源和网络连接整合到现有的信息服务中。该计划的一个组成部分是通过促进访问和网络连接以及改善沟通、增加信息访问和共享知识的机制，教育护理学生、教育工作者、研究人员和从业人员了解校园和互联网资源的优势。长期目标是将这种模式推广到其他卫生专业学校和整个校园。主要目标是：简化图书馆的操作和连接；改善顾客服务；在该领域的护理从业者之间发展合作和知识共享的新形式；并测试将网络资源整合到护理课程和实践中的教育策略。

Abstract University of Illinois - Chicago - K. DahlenID,u Connection to NSFNET Proposal No. NCR-9317686 The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) needs to significantly expand its intra-campus connections to resources available through the NSFNET. At the same time, the University needs to provide a means of integrating Internet resources and networked connectivity into its existing information services. An integral part of this plan is to educate nursing students, educators, researchers, and practitioners to the advantages of campus and Internet resources by promoting access and networked connectivity and mechanisms for improving communication, increasing information access, and for sharing knowledge. The long-term goal is to extend this prototype to the other health professional schools and to the campus as a whole. The main objectives are: to streamline library operations and connectivity; to improve patron service; to develop new forms of collaboration and knowledge-sharing among nursing practitioners in the field; and to test educational strategies to integrate Internet resources into both the curriculum and practice of nursing.
