Here is one of the first books to focus on the Internet's impact on
library services. Libraries have evolved over many years and
contain traditions of organization. The Internet---disorganized,
fluid, mutative--challenges the logic of the librarian. How
responsive are librarians to the Internet? How do they use it? What
are their interests? What does the Internet mean to their world?
Librarians on the Internet addresses many questions such as these
and provides a snapshot of librarians'work with the
Internet.Authors from around the United States and Canada discuss
many aspects of Internet use, including gophers, VERONICA, science
sources, electronic text, bibliographic instruction, training, and
implementation of information services. Chapters focus not so much
on the Internet in general as on librarians'use of the Internet as
they take on a new task--essentially using a virtual library.
Readers will discover how their colleagues are using this new
technology to their advantage. Librarians on the Internet makes it
clear that librarians who utilize the Internet have an edge in the
world of information. The questions this book answers--and those it
raises--inform and challenge librarians as they forge ahead into
the future on the Internet.
