- Abstract
- Reports on the Southern California Online Users Group annual workshop, which broke all previous attendance records. The topic was 'Radical redesign of reference and research', and common threads among speakers included the need for a new reference/research model that will scale with future needs, and the now common standard of round the clock service availability. Print could become a secondary medium to digital data, primarily delivered over the Internet, and that information vendors be forced to change pricing structures. Librarians from public, corporate, and academic sectors have begun building Web sites around links to their own data and to other quality sites as a means of providing 24 hour services. Vendors might consider creating new price comparison services, or offering proce guarantees, to compete with this new phenomenon

- Abstract
- Determines how bibliographic instruction in Canadian academic libraries is evolving to meet this need in the current dynamic environment. The survey data revealed that traditional content and delivery continues to be stressed. Technology is reportedly changing bibliographic instruction in positive ways, towards the teaching of critical evaluation and research strategies and incorporating more hand-on user training

- Abstract
- We report a naturalistic interactive information retrieval (IIR) study of 18 ordinary users in the age of 20-25 who carry out everyday-life information seeking (ELIS) on the Internet with respect to the three types of information needs identified by Ingwersen (1986): the verificative information need (VIN), the conscious topical information need (CIN), and the muddled topical information need (MIN). The searches took place in the private homes of the users in order to ensure as realistic searching as possible. Ingwersen (1996) associates a given search behaviour to each of the three types of information needs, which are analytically deduced, but not yet empirically tested. Thus the objective of the study is to investigate whether empirical data does, or does not, conform to the predictions derived from the three types of information needs. The main conclusion is that the analytically deduced information search behaviour characteristics by Ingwersen are positively corroborated for this group of test participants who search the Internet as part of ELIS.

- Abstract
- The rapid development of networked information resources and services has not been matched with ongoing assessment of how well these resources and services meet user needs. Stresses the importance of developing and implementing a range of user based evaluation techniques as a means of assessing the usefulness of the services, and planning for future services. 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
- In a reassessment of Internet usage for reference purposes, data are tabulated from a 1995 class in advanced electronic searching and compared with a previous study from fall 1994. The current data are from 195 searches initiated by students assigned questions on a series of topics: science and technology, medicine and biology, social sciences, arts and humanities, current events, business, legal and government information. The Internet was selected as a viable source 58% of the time and determined to be successful in 86% of theses searches. Although both the selection and success rates differ with the topic being searched and the individual searchers, there is a considerable increase in both Internet selection and success rates from those of the previous year

- Abstract
- Discusses some obstacles to the use of electronic information. Outlines the major differences between information from online, CD-ROM and Web sources. Analyzes data from Arhus Public Library's (Denmak) business information services, 1992-96, citing electronic information media as the reason for the decrease in the number of enquiries after 1994. States that future users of electronic information will need a more professional attitude and new skills. Defines a concept of 'Web information literacy' and discusses 2 implications: knowledge about the Internet and its resources, and innovativeness as a major component in Internet user skills

- Abstract
- There is very little qualitative data on what impact the Internet is having on information seeking in the workplace. Using open-ended interviews, questionnaires and observation, the impact of the Internet on the British Media was assessed. The focus was largely on newspapers, with The Guardian being covered in some depth. Over 300 journalists and media librarians were surveyed. It was found that amongst traditional journalists use was light. Poor access to the Internet - and good access to other information resources - were largely the reasons for this. Of the journalists it was mainly the older and more senior journalists and the New Media journalists who used the Internet. Librarians were also significant users. Searching the World Wide Web was the principal Internet activity and use was generally conservative in character. Newspapers and official sites were favoured, and searches were mainly of a fact-checking nature. Email was used on a very limited scale and was not regarded as a serious journalistic tool. Non-users were partly put off by the Internet's potential for overloading them with information and its reputation for producing information of suspect quality. Users generally dismissed these concerns, dealing with potential overload and quality problems largely by using authoritative sites and exploiting the lower quality data where it was needed. Where the Internet has been used it has not been at the expense of other information sources or communication channels, but online hosts seem to be at most risk in the future.

- Abstract
- Academic libraries have been on the leading edge in the provision of services, navigation aids, and user training for the Internet and the emerging National Research and Education Network (NREN). Yet empirical research and synthesis of librarians' experience with electronic networking is scarce. Reports selected findings from a recently completed study that examined the impact of the national networked environment on academic libraries. Its goals was to investigate the roles of academic libraries and librarians in the national networking context. Summarizes the study activities and key issues and findings from data analysis

- Abstract
- Summarizes results of a survey of 1.495 libraries carried out by the National Commission on Libraries and Information SCience (NCLIS) which sought to provide benchmark data for public library use of the Internet. Covers: connections to the Internet, type of connection and network provider, average cost of connection and future resource allocation, uses of the Internet, Internet-based user services, public access terminals, provision of hard-copy materials, community information services, computers and phone lines, factors affecting involvement with the Internet, primrary motivation for interest in the Internet, roles perceived as appropriate for public libraries and federal government. The study includes recommendations for policy makers, public libraries and the NCLIS

- Abstract
- Presents results of a study, conducted at the State University of New York at Buffalo, to examine the use of an e-mail reference service in 3 library units. Data gathered includes a snapshot of user demographics, question classification, and use patterns. The questionnaire survey found that the service was being utilized in a different manner than providers may have intended. One example demonstrates that projected use during off duty hours, weekends, and evenings was significantly lower than use during regular reference hours. In moving towards the virtual library, it is important that librarians learn more about the remote user and to consider additional electronic services. Although much is known about how e-mail reference services are administered and used, little is known about the 'invisible' people who ask the questions
