 What the Profession  Says about AdviseNet

According to The Distance Learning Consortium, in their 1999 book entitled The Definitive Guide to Criminal Justice and Criminology on the World Wide Web (Prentice-Hall, p. 110).   >   >   >   >   >   >   "AdviseNet is a new concept in on-line advising for criminal justice students. Provides users with advice on where the field is going, where to find jobs (includes many job search engines), and additional useful information for students at any university. The site is maintained by Dr. Mike Carlie of Missouri State University." (Italics in original.)

AdviseNet contains approximately 500 pages of text offering advice on a wide range of topics. Those topics may be found in the replica of the AdviseNet Home Page below. In addition, there are approximately 1000 links from AdviseNet pages to sites elsewhere on the Internet. Like most sites on the Internet, AdviseNet is continually expanding.

The following is a duplicate of the Home Page for AdviseNet is as follows and, as such, is descriptive of what the site offers my advisees and any other students who may wish to use it.

The Advantages of AdviseNet for Advising

1. AdviseNet standardizes the content of advisement. 
Through AdviseNet, all my advisees get the same advice. And when individualized attention is needed, they contact me by email through the AdviseNet site, call me, or visit my office.

 
2.

AdviseNet offers more advise than would normally ever be available during live advisement sessions. 
They have access to a wide range of information and are not limited by time constraints. When they want more information, they simply visit the site and read more. If there's something they didn't understand the first time around, they can call it back up and read it again.

 
3. It makes advisement available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 
The AdviseNet site is always accessible and from anywhere in the world that there is a computer linked to the Internet.

 
4. AdviseNet provides a great deal of information regarding the Crime and Society (CAS) Major and Minor for both the student majoring or minoring in CAS and the casual student (who is neither majoring nor minoring in CAS).

 
5. It exhibits and provides access to the programs, processes, rules and regulations of the university in a concise and easily accessed format.
 Among the kinds of advice offered is advice on the difference between a B.S. and a B.A. degree and degree program, how to get better grades, how to succeed at the university, a description of the CAS major and minor and every course offered in them as well as courses outside the department which may be of interest to a CAS major or minor, descriptions of various careers in the field as well as links to career search engines, links to research data and professional associations, and much more.

 
6. AdviseNet is advisee/student-centered.
 The words, phrases, and syntax used to create the various documents in AdviseNet were chosen in hopes of creating an accepting, encouraging, and caring atmosphere.

 
7. The information and advice offered is current.  
Where more current information is needed, links are provided to access that data.

 
8. Access to advice is non-linear.   
The advisee (or other students) may access only the information they are seeking without having to wade or wait through the presentation of other advice. The advisee gets just what they want, and they have more available at the click of a mouse.
