    Abstract
    Examines the effect of the information revolution on college and university libraries within the framework of the 3 interrelated concepts of transformation, reengineering and organizational behaviour. Advances in technology, specifically through the Internet, have had a major impact on how information is perceived and obtained and, consequently, the role of the academic librarian is evolving and expanding. Discusses 4 areas which must be addressed by academic librarians in the transition toward a reformed environment; strategic planning; educational aspects of the Internet; policy development; and management of electronic data. The library is a critical partner on academic campuses as an instigator and initiator of information literacy and a key player in accessing through networks that which is relevant

    Abstract
    The use of codes and other methods of concealing the contents of messages is as old as recorded information. With the advent of computer communication, the need for a method of ensuring secure communication over insecure channels, such as the Internet, has seen an increased demand for good cryptography. However, the recent availability of public domain public key encryption software, such as Philip R. Zimmermann's Pretty Good privacy (PGP), has been seen by some as betraying the principles of security and has raised issues of national communication policy and personal privacy. In the USA, the government's Clipper encryption chip initiative sought to implement a key escrow system which would enable law enforcement agencies to wiretap all digital communication. Civil liberty opponents of key escrow systems argue that they will not affect criminals, and fear that they can only be made effective by banning the use of alternative encryption systems, such as PGP. Describes methods for obtaining and using PGP to encrypt and decrypt electronic mail messages

    Abstract
    Presents an overview of the European Community policy initiatives in telecommunications and broadcasting. Community policy has not yet fully addressed the convergence of media that is at the heart of the information society. Identifies a number of issues that need to be addressed: the removal of unnecessary regulatory barriers, universal and public service, line of business restrictions and pluralism of the media. The information society will require a policy framework that encompasses all media and aims to be free from inconsistencies between policies in different media sectors. Since the convergence of media will ultimately affect all aspects of life, the framework should not be limited to the economic dimension alone, but must take into account the whole spectrum of societal and cultural values

    Abstract
    Discusses the dilemma of national policy formation for information technology in the context of the information superhighway initiative, or national information infrastructure (NII) in the US. Reviews the technological forces shaping the convergence of computers and communications, describes current and future services on the information superhighway, outlines the major providers and the markets at stake, and concludes with some implications for the information superhighway for national competitiveness. Multinational corporations are moving ahead on NII wether governments do so or not. Governments need to ensure local industry is part of mainstream developments, stimulate education in the new technologies, and assess the compliance with standards

    Abstract
    State of the art review of the Net (the global telecommunications network as a whole) and the Internet with particular reference to the development of a coherent policy for those uisng these telecommunications facilities. Policy issues discussed include: standards, intellectual property; encryption, rules for transborder data flow; and data privacy. Considers their implications for individuals as well as government and commercial institutions. The review is limited to English language publications and explores specific issues that affect the structure of government, the economy and society, as well as those involved in the design of the net and looks at comparative and international issues. Concludes that the development of policies for the net is made difficult by the many different bodies of law that apply, by the fact that the relevant technologies are new and changing because that technologies are new and rapidly changing and because the net is global. Specific characteristics of the net require new thinking on a constitutional level, since information creation, processing, flows and use are constitutive forces in society

    Abstract
    The US government has been active in the establishment of national and other levels of networking to connect various kinds of persons and groups throughout the country. Briefly examines the history and present state of federal initiatives in electronic networking (particularly the National Information Infrastructure (NII)) and the NREN. Looks at current trends and issues for electronic publishing that come from this federal activity; and identifies topics of fundamental interest to, and with major implications for, national policy that arise from electronic publishing. Explores electronic publishing in the context of federal networking initiatives and considers the implications of the growth of electronic publishing for national policy

    Abstract
    Presents methods for developing systematic identification, evaluation and selection of Internet resources. The principles and practices of selection, when adapted coherently and systematically to networked information, can amply serve to integrate this emerging electronic milieu into collection development strategies. Identifies key collection policy issues and includes an excerpt from a collection policy statement. Presents a working taxonomy of Internet accessible resources, developed as a tool to aid in adapting selection practices to Internet resources. Also outlines methods of incorporating Internet selection into the day to day activity of academic library collection development, including training, specifications for a selector's workstation, selection strategy, and the need to facilityte communication among selectors. This work is presented as an example of the kind of applied research the authors believe is needed to complement and extend the largely theoretical approach to the selection of electronic resources that characterizes the literature of collection development

    Abstract
    As Internet resources have become increasingly available, reference librarians have begun to use the information Internet to provide ready reference services to users. There are many benefits in using the Internet in this fashion but there are also some real costs involved. Use of the Internet is likely to have implications for the nature of ready reference itself. While encouraging greater use of the Internet for ready reference, identifies limitations and discusses reference policy and cost issues
