Conferences and Professional Programs (CAPPS)
1. What are the unique needs of this user group?
CAPPS students are often professionals who have an interest in obtaining
a certificate in some job-related area. Their courses are non-credit, and the
program is self-sustaining. There have been some with CAPPS to extend library
services to CAPPS students for a fee. There has been no official provisions
or plans to pursue this arrangement. (Per March 2005 - The College of Education's
"Partnership Center" helps many of these groups with their online
presence.)
These programs currently include Viticulture, ESL, Volunteer Management...

5. What problems does this group have with accessing library services?
