This session provides an overview of the creation of the Ivy Bridge College library web site, from the planning process to its implementation (in less than 6 months). The library web site was created to support three key areas of the college- the students, the faculty, and the instructional designers. Construction consisted of three separate portals, each with a specific group of users in mind. At its conclusion, the site was wedded to the Learning Management System in order to meet users "where they live" in the online environment. This presentation will discuss the development process and the collaborative efforts amongst the IBC librarian, faculty members, and staff.
