This work examines the impact of electronic developments (particularly the Internet) on local studies librarianship. The explosion in the use of the Internet has been matched by an interest in local, family, and community history. This work brings these two developments together. It provides practitioners with practical advice on the provision of Web-based services for users. Such areas as e-geneaology and e-learning are covered. The work provides examples of best-practice and shows how practical lessons can be learned from the experiences of the innovators in the field.
