    Abstract
    Describes the development of a Web Library Guide at Birmingham University, UK. Having developed a hypertext guide using Asymetrix Toolbook which gave guidance to users on the subjects and services available in the main library of the university, the information was repackaged for loading on to the WWW. Outlines the reasons for this move, explains the process of the transposition, and suggests future possibilities for the project

    Abstract
    Examines the traditional role of the reference librarian and considers changes as the result of information technology. CD-ROMs are revolutionising the way reference services are organised; they change the priorities and affect the basic skills of the staff. The changes that occur are evident in 5 major areas: the range of databases in a multi-media environment; the chnaging function of the reference service; the retraining of staff and users; the changing of reference interview; and the reappraisal of user education
