    Abstract
    Describes SuperJANET which will complement but not replace the Joint Academic Network (JANET) in serving the higher education and research community and which will be a multimedia network carrying video, voice and images, based on optical fibre technology. Draws attention to the pilot network connecting 6 initial sites which will be in place in Mar 93 and discusses a range of pilot applications being developed. these include: supercomputer data visualization and interaction; access to remote facilities; remote consultation; teaching; group communication; and information services

    Abstract
    The Joint Academic NETwork (JANET) links users to the facilities of over 2.000 registered computers on more than 200 sites within the UK. It connects all universities, polytechnics and institutes funded by the various research councils. A growing number of industrial and commercial organizations working in collaboration with members of the academic community are joining JANET. Gives technical specifications of the network. JANET.NEWS is a bulletin board for current information, contacts, registration, e-mail addresses of library staff and OPAC addresses. JANET is linked to OPACs to provide access to them outside the campus. It provides alternatives to mail and telex for the transmission of interlibrary loan requests, is used for e-mail communication, transfers bibliographic records between libraries, offers gateway facilities to online information services and accesses the Science Citation Index, Social Science Citaion Index and Arts and Humanities Citation Index. The national users group, JUGL, encourages use of the network through libraries, workshops for library staff, an annual meeting and a quarterly newsletter

    Abstract
    Describes the development of SuperJANET, the new optical fibre network for the UK academic and research community which is currently being installed; the pilot applications that are being developed to run over SuperJANET (both library and non library applications); and the strategic issues that will need to be addressed in SuperJANET is to reach its full potential as an 'information highway'

    Abstract
    Considers the opportunities offered to humanities researchers by the Internet, particularly: electronic mail; discussion groups; access to remote files; and file transfers. The review concentrates on electronic conferences, newslwtters, discussion lists and information resources of interest to humanities scholars that are available via the Internet. Address some broader issues that will need to be addressed if the network is to deliver the type of information resources that will really assist humanities scholars. Considers in more detail: online catalogues and OPACs; electronic conferences; newsletters; electronic text resources in the humanities; networked data sets; network navigation tools; FTP, Archie, Gopher, Veronica, WWW; WAIS and NCSA Mosaic; online archives; Campus Wide Information Services; electronic bulletin boards; commercial services; SuperJANET; and the virtual library

    Abstract
    Describes the development of SuperJANET, the new optical fibre network for the UK academic and research community. Considers pilot applications for SuperJANET covering library and non library applications and strategic issues to be met for SuperJANET to become an information superhighway. Gigabyte networks will be 1.000 time faster than JANET and will enable sophisticated image and voice communication. SuperJANET uses synchronous digital hierarchy technology. SuperJANET is being developed and and introduced in a number of phases. Discusses supercomputing, library and information services, and strategic issues. Examines the role of technology and librarians in the development of the virtual library
