- Abstract
- Examines the use and perceived importance of the Internet amongst students and academics in the Netherlands. A detailed questionnaire was distributed among 1.000 members of the academic community and 3 focus group interviews were held with faculty members. Among other findings, the study revealed the searching the WWW id not without difficulty. Libraries should support the users by performing traditional tasks, such as selection, bibliographical description, controlled subject indexing, current awareness, courses, and individual assistance. The WWW is being used primarily to search general, factual, ephemeral, or very specific information. At this moment, full text resources play only a minor role in the academic research process. The Internet may have conquered a place for itself, but it has not pushed aside traditional pronted and other information resources
