Abstract

Considers the possible potential for service development in public libraries offered by the Internet and describes the traditional models of network access and their lack of relevance to public libraries. Describes 2 current research projects currently being undertaken by public libraries to assess the value of the Internet to their services; ITPOINT, a project being conducted at Chelmsley Wood Library, Solihull, UK; and CLIP, the Croydon Libraries Internet peoject. Presents a range of new service paradigms and suggests that public libraries will become even more central to people's lives than they are today

Abstract

Findings of the Croydon Libraries Internet Project (CLIP), 1994 Mar 96, which aimed to assess the value of the Internet for UK public libraries. Reviews the Internet as a staff tool (the Electronic Reference model), the potential benefits of providing public access and a range of technical issues which will be relevant to public libraries establishing such services

Abstract

Very few public libraries in the UK have Internet connections as yet compared with the USA, where a recent survey revealed 21% of them offering some forms of access. An 18 month project at Croydon libraires is looking at the relevance of the net to public libraries in the UK, and aims to produce a list of 10 questions that can definitely be answered in better ways by using it than by traditional methods. The Internet is also seen as a valuable signposting system, putting people with similar interests quickly and directly in touch with one another

Abstract

The belief that the OPAC represents the most revolutionary development in libraries since open access and could transform the effectiveness of many services if enough interest is taken. Describes some OPAC studies being undertaken in the UK.
