- Abstract
- Provides a background to the work of the New York Public Library (NYPL). Explains how libraries without walls exploiting network technology can expand information access. Within a few years researchers using the Internet, the NREN or successor information highways will be able to remotely access the online catalogues of virtually every important library in the world. To exploit these developments in systems and telecommunications the NYPL has launched the Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL) due to open in 1995 as the nation's largest public information centre devoted to science and business. SIBL will combine NYPL's science and business collection into one library with 100 multimedia workstations and dial-in remote access and document delivery. NYPL has developed its own menu driven Internet gateway and is the first major public library in new York to make its electronic catalogues availale in the Internet
