    Abstract
    Describes a study of the use of electronic networks by scientists and engineers. The study of network use was conducted in order to make policy recommendations for the proposed Natioanl Research and Education Network (NREN) and combines traditional social science empirical methods with policy analysis. Argues that qualitative techniwues, such as semi-structured interviews and focus groups, provide data important to the development of user-based policies and that social and behavioural issues must be given more attention ny network policy makers

    Abstract
    Academic libraries have been on the leading edge in the provision of services, navigation aids, and user training for the Internet and the emerging National Research and Education Network (NREN). Yet empirical research and synthesis of librarians' experience with electronic networking is scarce. Reports selected findings from a recently completed study that examined the impact of the national networked environment on academic libraries. Its goals was to investigate the roles of academic libraries and librarians in the national networking context. Summarizes the study activities and key issues and findings from data analysis

    Abstract
    The rapid development of networked information resources and services has not been matched with ongoing assessment of how well these resources and services meet user needs. Stresses the importance of developing and implementing a range of user based evaluation techniques as a means of assessing the usefulness of the services, and planning for future services. Describes a number of user based data collection techniques appropriate for evaluations within the networked environment. Concludes with specific suggestions for enhancing the overall effectiveness of such evaluations

    Abstract
    Reports results of an evaluation of the Online at PA Libraries project (Autumn 1996 to Autumn 1997), funded by Bell Atlantic and administered by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education's Office of Commonwealth Libraries and the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit, which has had a significant impact on the provision of Internet based information services and resources to Pennsylvania public library users. 4 surveys were conducted: a survey to assess the participating libraries' expectations concerning the project; a user survey to determine user satisfaction, demographic and overall project and Internet assessment; and 2 training evaluation surveys conducted at the start and at the follow up stage of the project. The project has provided a statewide demonstration of what can be done to improve quickly and significantly the statewide public library services; to connect public libraries to the Internet and provide a range of new services and resources to their communities; and to 'junpstart' libraries, librarians and citizens into the global networked society

    Abstract
    This article identifies a number of research topics related broadly to outcomes assessment in a networked environment and discusses issues affecting these research topics. It also proposes a framework to relate traditional evaluation components and terminology to the networked environment and identifies a number of factors in the networked environment that affect outcomes and other assessment methods. The article suggests that outcomes assessment has the potential to complement other assessment techniques to better assist libraries and related information organizations enhance their decisions in the provision of information services and resources. Given the increased rate at which libraries are using the networked environment to provide services and resources, however, much work remains before most libraries can implement outcomes assessment efforts successfully.

    Abstract
    Describes research in the progress at Syracuse Univ.'s School of Information Studies that is invesitigating the role of public libraries in developing and exploiting the next generation of national networks as presently embodied in the Internet/NREN. The study will determine present knowledge and use of the Internet by public library leaders; identify barriers to Internet use; explore evolving roles for public libraries in the rapidly developing networked environment; and recommended specific strategies and policies for public libraries to pursue to take better advantage of Internet/NREN information resources and services

    Abstract
    The Federal Government must undertake a concerted, major effort to build a modern information and telecommunication technology infrastructure to serve its own internal information resources management needs and, more importantly, to deliver services to its citizens. It must also implement a management and policy framework that guides a directs a re-invigorated, customer-based service orientation, and must be involved, on a partnership basis with other levels of government and with non-profit and private-sector organizations, in the development of a national information infrastructure. Guiding these initiatives should be a clear and strategic vision for delivering government services in an electronically oriented information society
