INTRODUCTION
Diving into the Internet can be an overwhelming and sometimes
frustrating and time-consuming experience for both new and
experienced users. This Directory has been developed to help guide
you to the best, most comprehensive, and useful information I've
found for community college students and Student Services
professional staff. I've included (hopefully) enough descriptive
information so that you can efficiently hone in on the best
resources to meet your particular needs without spending on
inordinate amount of time searching and "surfing."
Please e-mail me at
joan.jacobson@canyons.edu or call the COC Counseling Office at (661)
362-3295 and
let me know if any of these links are invalid so I can correct any
future editions of this guide. I'd also enjoy hearing about any
comments you have and/or the results of any of your explorations on
the `Net that you'd like to share.
Happy Surfing!!!!!

DEDICATION
This Directory is dedicated to John Drislane who helped demystify
computers and the Internet for many of us "non-techies" at
COC who could become quite intimidated at times by all of the new
technology. It was John who inspired my interest in and enthusiasm
for the Internet with his e-mail humor, crazy bookmarks, and great
educational resources.
DISCLAIMER
I have personally visited and reviewed each site and often spent
considerable time interacting with sites in order to verify their
value to students and/or student services professionals. However,
due to the ever-changing nature of the Internet I cannot be held
responsible for the quality of information linked to each of these
sites. Although the sites below are generally repositories of free
information, even if some are commercially sponsored, some of their
links may lead to exclusively commercial sites. So be careful!
Efforts are being
made to keep this directory current on a regular basis.
However, due to the volatility of the Internet, some of these
resources may no longer exist or may have moved without leaving a
"forwarding URL".
Finally, the inclusion of resources and their links in this
Directory do not necessarily represent any form of endorsement by
College of the Canyons.
