TWIST web sites available

Applications are being accepted for spring 2003 TWIST course web sites. TWIST, which stands for Teaching with Innovative Style and Technology, is a UI Libraries program that promotes faculty-librarian collaboration, encourages the use of information technology to enhance teaching, and facilitates the use of course-
related library resources. TWIST staff provides instruction for faculty members to develop and maintain course web sites.
