Abstract

Presents an overview of Web-based resources for online user instruction on the Internet. Describes free resources which teach Web browsing such as Netscape's online handbook, Microsoft's tutorial on its Internet Ecplorer Web browser and Global Villages's Internet Tour. Library specific instruction is provided by many libraries who have developed training materials which can be accessed via the Web; these include Augsburg College (http://aug3.augsburg.edu/library/aib), the Chicago Library System (http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/cls) and the Bergen County Cooperative Library System (http://www.bccls.org/www/support.html). The Internet Education Project Web site allows librarians to display and share instructional materials they have developed. Also reviews training courses offered by commercial vendors which would suit the needs of staff who require more extensive training in specific areas of technology or particular software packages. These online resources can be used in conjunction with more traditional workshops or can be self-paced tutorials
