Opis

Some libraries have become community gateways to the world of the Internet. Here are 18 reports on how they did it and what is happening now. They aim to show you how to become a player in the local information community, linking patrons to Net services with enhancements that only librarians can offer. This text deals with organisation, governance and use of Internet services in all types and sizes of library agencies, from Stanford University's immense electronic matrix to one-telephone libraries in rural New York State.
