Abstract
Since World Wide Web (WWW) development at the University of Akron (UA) began in 1994, many individuals from various areas of the University have contributed to the organization and development of the campus Web sites. Formal responsibility for Web development passed from one committee to another, while numerous subcommittees contributed to planning, organizing, and developing policy for the UA Web. Ultimately, a University Web Team, chaired by the University Webmaster, was appointed and charged with responsibility for the design, organization, and content of the UA Web. Reasoning that the University Libraries could easily incorporate the provision of Web related services into its existing service mission, campus administrators placed the University Webmaster and associate responsibilities within the administrative structure of the University Libraries. This new organizational structure provided the University Libraries with an opportunity to assume a leadership role in future Web development and services.
