- Abstract
- The Internet and its associated technology can not fulfil the long term needs for online infromation exchange. A National Information Infrastructure (NII) is needed to build on it. Looks at the USA NII initiative. Proposes a UK initiative, Information City, which organises information exchange in interconnected regional information infrastructures, and which could be the vehicle for establishing an electronic public information policy. The public sector should take the lead in organizing the initiative

- Explores how the national and international information structure currently being proposed in the USA may be built. Considers the technologies that may be involved and the differing views of cable companies, the Internet, policy makers, users, long-distance carriers and phone companies. Discusses the competition between local phone companies and cable companies to give access to the long-distance network and the ATM technology which may bring cable and phone companies even closer together. Describes growing links between the cable companies and online services to provide services. Examines the future of Internet pointing out that it may not continue to have free access and examines the future role of the TCP/IP protocol. Decribes the computer hardware that users will use to avvess the network. Questions whether access to the network will be restricted to the educated and economically privileged

- Abstract
- The relationship between the practice of democracy and the use of new information technologies is dependent upon the technologies of communication and information, rules regarding their use and the nature of the entity making those rules. Since today developments in all three of these areas are turbulent, looks to social theory that deals with turbulence and chaos as a way of understanding the democratic potential in the qualitatively different network society. The literature drawn upon includes second-order cybernetics and chaos theory, organizational sociology, and the literature on the state. The concept of the autopoietic state is developed as a basis for determining appropriate communication policy principles for maximizing the democratic potential in the network environment

- Abstract
- Every institution that offers Internet service should have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in place before allowing access to its system in order to protect not only the institution itself, but also its Internet service provider. AUPs are difficult for librarians because they are fraught with intellectual freedom issues. All AUPs, however, regardless of institutional affiliation, should contain these 4 components: mission statement, service provider, clientele, and disclaimer. Discusses the issues which libraries must address in drawing up UAPs, including privacy, anonymity, user education and the consequences of AUP violation. All these issues should be discussed at length and decisions made before Internet access, especially electronic mail opportunities, is offered to staff and patrons

- Abstract
- Outlines the activities involved in developing a community on line information system and the not for profit organisation which was established to run it. The catalyst for the system was Rockford Public Library, Illinois and includes the mission statement, guiding principles, policy statements, standing committees and their goals and objectives during the first year of operation. Funding, staffing, users, and information providers are also discussed. The Sinnissippi Valley Information Network now provides the local community with access to the Internet, a wide range of state information such as property tax records, council minuates and library holdings, as well as WEB pages. The only area of disappointment has been the lack of interest by schools. Sets out 11 suggestions for those considering starting a similar venture

- Abstract
- Betty Turock, President of the ALA. outlines the Association's views on the involvement of libraries in the evolving NII in the USA. Libraries are already positioned to become every community's public access connection to the NII but they will require a significant investment in technology if all people are to have affordable access. The ALA will work to introduce and influence policy and legislation guaranteeing equity on the NII through libraries; and to raise the public's awareness about the importance of access for them, their children and their grandchildren. The NII is seen as the precursor of the Global Information Infrastructure which will allow an exchange of ideas between nationas as well as between communities

- Abstract
- The electronic library and the Internet intensifies the need for information skills in academic research, in 3 categories: judgement; knowledge and operation of resources; and linguistic and logical skills. Outlines strategies for training within the doctoral supervision process. Qualitative data from the Information Access project on current practice among supervisors, suggest that successful training of researchers requires: recognition of the size of the problem; adoption of a different model of library skills training; recognition of the developmental nature of training needs; recognition of the important role research supervisors play alongside librarians; explicit discussion of metacognitive aspects of these skills; formulation of training policy by national and local institutions; training and support for supervisors themselves; and the nees for academics and students to take resposibility for their learning in this area

- Abstract
- 2 studies examine Internet use in American public libraries: study 94 sought to determine the nature, extent and form of public library Internet involvement, study 96 presents data useful for policy makers. Compares results of the studies relating to: staff; expenditures; staff motivation;present Internet connectivity and factors affecting this; use of network connection providers; Internet service costs; future library connection and present use; and Internet services accessible to the public. Swedish public libraries can learn from these studies that librarians need training before the Internet is introduced, and that a gulf between the have and the have not libraries should not be allowed to develop. As the studies did not examine the quality of networked services the author has planned a qualitative survey of 10 California public libraries
