    Abstract
    The web has brought to the business world an inexpensive way of distributing corporate information to employees, business partners and customers. The term intranet describes a closed computer network built upon World Wide Web technology in which access is restricted to a particular group of users, typically employees of a company. The term extranet is used when access is extended to a privileged user group: customers and suppliers for example. This paper examines the role of the World Wide Web in the Research Library at Scottish Media Newspapers, in particular how it complements the portfolio of traditional online sources, CD Roms and books. It also describes the extent to which searching has moved from the intermediary to the end user. In the mid 1990s, just as the web was beginning its spectacular rise to fame, Scottish Media Newspapers developed a browser-based interface to the in-house database of newspaper stories, a process that led to the creation of a corporate intranet. The creation of the intranet has been accompanied by a redefining of staff roles in an attempt to change the image from passive librarian to dynamic research specialist. The paper concludes by examining the role of the information professional/librarian in a world where end users will have a vast range of information from internal and external sources at their fingertips.

    Abstract
    The Internet is a decentralized network of computers located throughout the world. Many of these machines (or servers) contain information which is freely available while others require payment or at least some form of authorization to log in. The growth of the network in recent years has opened up new ways of storing and accessing information and presents a challenge for anyone involved in information work. Improvements in telecommunications will see the Internet develop into a vital piece of information infrastructure through which it will be possible to transmit not just text but images and video. This paper provides a brief overview of the Internet: what it is, whre it came from and what it offers. It introduces some of the tools that have emerged in recent years to help find and retrieve information from the many servers throughout the world. It also provides hints on where to look for more information on getting connected. In conclusion some comments are made on the relevance of the Internet for the information community and attention is drawn to some policy developments in the USA and the UK
