The University at Buffalo's Counseling Center was one of the very first counseling centers to go on-line in the U.S. In 1994 the Counseling Center established a simple gopher site, consisting of basic departmental information and some self-help materials for students. Since then, the Counseling Center's web developments have expanded greatly, and now include resources for students, staff, faculty, as well as resources for counseling center professionals across the country. From the days of the gopher site, to the current web pages, the Counseling Center has been committed to capitalizing on the inherent nature of the internet: interconnection across geographical distances, and so the Center's web pages regularly include links to other UB resources as well as internet resources around the world. As a result of the Center's web projects, they very quickly established themselves as a national leader in the development of university-based counseling web resources.

Some of the current web-based resources maintained by the Counseling Center include:

• The Counseling Center Home Page, ub-counseling.buffalo.edu/, is the Counseling Center's flag-ship internet project. This began as a simple on-line collection of self-help brochures. As time went by additional information was added, including information for faculty and staff, mental health referrals for local users as well as users who access the site from elsewhere, materials about the Center's training opportunities, reading lists, links to software archives, interesting quotes, and links to other internet mental health and self-help resources. As it was in its beginning, this site remains an extremely useful place for students to find a wealth of self-help information. Usage has grown exponentially and this site remains one of the most popular and frequently linked to counseling center web sites in the country.

• The Counseling Center has also developed an On- Line Directory Of Counseling Centers, ub-counseling.buffalo.edu/centers.html . This directory lists university and college counsel- ing centers that have an Internet presence. From this directory, you can link directly to over 200 counseling center home pages, as well as learn about counseling center electronic mailing lists and other counseling center related resources. This has been an extremely popular resource for counseling centers thinking about going on-line and seeing how their colleagues did it.

• As a means of helping fellow NYS colleagues stay networked, the Counseling Center set up a Regional Listserve For Counseling Center Professionals in upstate New York, ub-counseling.buffalo.edu/ccuny-l.html, - an e-mail distribution list to which members can post and respond to messages.

• Finally, and in collaboration with the Counseling Center at Notre Dame, UB's Counseling Center has created the Counseling Center Village Web Page, ub-counseling.buffalo.edu/ccv.html . This web site has brought together the different resources relevant to counseling center profession- als - a one-stop shop for professionals and anyone else interested in mental health services on college campuses.
