Abstract

42 academic libraries in New Jersey were surveyed in 1994 to investigate the use of the Internet for reference work. 27 responses were received. The survey questions focused on: how many reference librarians used the Internet for reference queries, what training they had received, what types of reference activities were being conducted, how successful the searches were, what subject categories were searched, and what were the problems/barriers that prevented more frequent use. Reports the results and indicates possible solutions to problems
