    Abstract
    Presents a state of the art review of WWW search engines from the earliest Internet precursors and noting: prblems inherent in the current range of WWW search engines; problems of searching the WWW (link persistence and lack of integrated search software); and analyzing the resulting search engine types (keyword or directory). Compares search engines of all types across their generic features (database content, retrieval software, and search interface), rather than on a search engine by search engine basis. Considers wider information access issues arising from the nature of the Internet and Web search engines and proposes a general strategy for using web search engines. Comments on the irony that a unitary global information space accessible via 1 freely accessible software package (WWW client browser) should be so balkanized by a plethora of search engines in complete reverse of the traditional world of printed, CD-ROM and online databases, where a limited number and comparatively stable range of search tools attemps to homogenize a large number of physically separate and disparate collections

    Abstract
    Describes the concept of a virtual reality library. Since a desktop virtual reality package is needed to construct a virtual reality library, the expected functionality of such software is discussed in general terms. Discusses one such virtual reality package, REND386, in detail and shows how it can be used to build a working prototype of a virtual reality library

    Abstract
    Proposes a model of a hypermedia software package fronting an existing database that would be applicable to the type of database used by museums for use by the public developed by Loughborough University, Department of Information and Library Studies, and Leicester University, Department of Museums Studies. Museums have text databases of their collections that, for public use, would require navigational access. Focuses on the design of a hypermedia front end for a hypothetical museum, using services information and object records from real museums. The resulting Hypermuse system consists of a 386 personal computer running dBase as a back end and an Apple Macintosh LC running HyperCard as the front end: a serial link, managed at each end by the packages pcAnywhere and Commstalk respectively, connects the machines. When evaluated, the prototype system was found to be basically sound but in need of minor improvements in the front end. Concludes that the concept is viable for implementation in museums
