- Abstract
- Many libraries manage Web sites intended to provide their users with online resources suitable for answering reference questions. Most of these sites can be analyzed in terms of their depth, and their organizing and searching features. Composing a typology based on these factors sheds light on the critical design decisions that influence whether users of these sites succees or fail to find information easily, rapidly and accurately. The same analysis highlights some larger design issues, both for Web sites and for information management at large

- Abstract
- Reviews the significant changes in information technology over the last 50 years and considers the many implications for information services. The Internet, global access to distributed information sources, and remote users all present challenges to would-be providers of information services. As resources proliferate, the information professional must develop new methods for locating and accessing them: reliance on publishers and reviews is no longer sufficient. Information service providers can now serve more diverse clienteles, but must be aware of the greater range of information needs and styles of information seeking. The continuing challenge is to harness the information technologies to meet these needs

- Abstract
- In order to provide researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, DC, with access to information resources at their desk tops, the Ruth H. Hooker Research Library and Technical Information Center of the NRL installed a networked information utility called InfoNet. Using a single menuing system, the InfoNet is available from anywhere on the campus FDDI/Ethernet network. Researchers using any type of computing workstation or dumb terminal are provided with access to CD-ROM databases, the library's online catalogue, laboratory management information database, and state of the art Knowbot prototypes to search the Internet. The InfoNet also makes extensive use of Internet electronic mail to provide Alias accounts, ListServ forums, and to send search results to end users. The InfoNet system hardware and software consists entirely of industry standard components and makes extensive use of the TCP/IP suite of protoclos

- Abstract
- Despite the fact that Internet resources are similar in function and form to many print and electronic resources with which library users are familiar, users are often intimidated by this network medium in terms of what is available and how to gain access to it. Once obtained, the sheer quantity of information that can and is stored in electronic form confronts users with the need to filter and organize it for personal use. Librarians, based on their training and experience, are the most appropriate intermediaries to assist in connecting to and understanding these network resources. Discusses the development of practical strategies for mediation between Internet resources and potential users

- Abstract
- Argues that the comprehensive introduction of electronic information resources into libraries has meant a considerable increase in the workload of reference and public services staff and that the staffing needs of these services have been largely ignored in the shift to electronic resources. Compares the typical amount of work and skill required to answer common user requests for information before and after the introduction of the electronic library, to exemplify the additional work in reference services in the electronic library. Lists the new or extended activities and services being carried out by usually the same number of reference/public services staff, stressing that it is the availability of staff as much as resources which will determine how well libraries survive in the elctronic age

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
- Explores issues surrounding the provision of online services and electronic resources in US public libraries, and discusses the appropriate directions for public libraries to pursue. Investigates traditional online reference tools, CD-ROM databases, OPACs, community bulletin boards and access to information resources via the Internet. Discusses national versus local library goals, strategies for online services, and consequences for service and cost controls. Considers the role of public libraries within NII. Access to computer networks for all citizens is essential and, whether information is made available through books or networks, public libraries must continue to play a critical role in public access

- Abstract
- The emergence of the Internet has dramatically changed computerized information access and tools and resources available on the Internet affect library services in various ways. Many health science librarians are using Internet resources to meet their own information needs, and those of health care providers. Examnies different applications of the Internet components in medical library settings, with special emphasis on reference services, discusses the role of the Internet in fulfilling National Network of Libraries of Medicine's (NN/LM) objectives, and analyzes the merit and demerits of using the Internet as a reference tool in health science libraries

- Footnote
- Overall, Ronan's book serves as an excellent guide for librarians interested in launching chat reference services and provides a particularly comprehensive overview of software and considerations for selection and expansion. However, the strong focus an basic hands-on setup, administration, and management may limit the appeal of the book for other readers interested in exploring issues of chat reference service in a larger context-such as whether library schools are adequately preparing the next generation of librarians to function in this new virtual environment, or whether the volume of chat reference traffic sufficiently justifies a refocusing of resources and staffing from e-mail, telephone, and face-to-face service points, especially in a 24/7 context. As chat reference moves beyond text into voice and video, and as the current chat start-ups either disappear or become strongly integrated within digital libraries, there will be a continuing need for writers such as Ronan to move beyond the basics and guide us in considering the next steps and the transformations that online reference services are both creating and reflecting within our libraries and the larger society."

- 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
