That's My Bailiwick: A Library-Sponsored Faculty Research Web Server

The University of Iowa Libraries provide a unique, new, scholarly publishing outlet for their faculty and graduate students. With the prevalence of personal faculty home pages and course Web sites in just about every department on campus, it's not very hard for faculty to find a Web server somewhere for storing an HTML file. And, with some work, faculty can often find some "techie" to help convert a document to HTML or to save a list of links. What is rare, however, is a space on the Web where faculty from all disciplines can find a home for their scholarly research interests, coupled with a computing environment and a knowledgeable staff to help them "follow their bliss" in digital form. The Information Arcade's new Bailiwick project does just that.
