    Abstract
    Electronic services librarianship has become a new position in many libraries to deal with the new services generated from the emerging technologies. In this article, the authors define this position and discuss reasons for it. Both sides of the issue are analyzed: that of the traditional librarian, whose expectations for this new staff line to bridge the gap between the library systems unit and the nontechnical library staff are high; and that of the library systems professional, who is more concerned about the library lifeline, OPAC. Electronic/network services librarians must get their work done without overstepping their boundaries. Nevertheless, this new professional is able to bring emerging technologies and applications to librarians, staff and users. This article describes problems and suggests solutions for the hiring process and the position's place in the organizational structure. A set of tips for the electronic services librarian to survive and thrive in the bureaucracy is also presented

    Abstract
    Reports results of a survey, conducted by the State University of New York and Albany Library, to investigate the effects of gender, college status and prior Internet experience on the use of Internet resources. The subjects were 96 randomly selected users using the library's Internet terminals during the first 2 months of 1995. The majority of users were found to share the following characteristics: male undergraduates affiliated with the social sciences; and novice users who have less than 6 months experience. Respondents felt strongly that the Internet is useful, and has been an important resource for their research and assignment. Users have high expectations of searching capabilities, while they feel neutral or disappointed with browsing. Results indicate that libraries should provide access to the Internet and suggest that libraries should take the lead in developing searchable indexes and making databases better organized for the ease and effectiveness of browsing
