- Abstract
- Outlines the activities involved in developing a community on line information system and the not for profit organisation which was established to run it. The catalyst for the system was Rockford Public Library, Illinois and includes the mission statement, guiding principles, policy statements, standing committees and their goals and objectives during the first year of operation. Funding, staffing, users, and information providers are also discussed. The Sinnissippi Valley Information Network now provides the local community with access to the Internet, a wide range of state information such as property tax records, council minuates and library holdings, as well as WEB pages. The only area of disappointment has been the lack of interest by schools. Sets out 11 suggestions for those considering starting a similar venture

- Abstract
- The proliferation of digital information resources and electronic databases challenges libraries and demands that libraries develop new mechanisms to facilitate and better inform user selection of electronic databases and search tools. We developed a prototype, Web-based database selection expert system based on reference librarian's database selection strategy. This system allows users to simultaneously search all databases available to identify databases most relevant to their quests using free-text keywords or phrases taken directly from their research topics. This article reports on (1) the initial usability test and evaluation of the Selector-the test design, methodology used, performance results; (2) summary of search query analyses; (3) user satisfaction measures; (4) the use of the findings for further modification of the Selector; and (5) the findings of using randomly selected subjects to perform a usability test with predefined searching scenarios. Future prospects of this research have also been discussed in the article.

- Abstract
- Community networks have existed since the 1970s when Community Memory in Berkeley, Californis, installed terminals in public places for people to read and post material of all sorts on a centralised time sharing system. Community Memory was the first known community access network. Several foundations and government agencies have funded community networks, known as freenets. Discusses the freenet movement; library involvement; the Apple Library of Tomorrow and the Morino Foundation conference on community networks and how to keep in touch with community network developments

- Abstract
- This work tackles one of the fundamental problems of information management - how to get the right information to the right person at the right time. It provides a practical framework to enable information services to gather information from users in order to aid information system design, and to monitor the effectiveness of an information service. This new edition has been fully revised and now has increased coverage of the Internet. The Web raises many problems when it comes to meeting information needs - authority and overload, for example - and these problems make an effective information needs analysis even more crucial. There is a new methodology section on Web log analysis and focus group interviews. Practical advice is given concerning interview technique and an interview schedule is included.

- Abstract
- Reviews the significant changes in information technology over the last 50 years and considers the many implications for information services. The Internet, global access to distributed information sources, and remote users all present challenges to would-be providers of information services. As resources proliferate, the information professional must develop new methods for locating and accessing them: reliance on publishers and reviews is no longer sufficient. Information service providers can now serve more diverse clienteles, but must be aware of the greater range of information needs and styles of information seeking. The continuing challenge is to harness the information technologies to meet these needs

- 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
- Every institution that offers Internet service should have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in place before allowing access to its system in order to protect not only the institution itself, but also its Internet service provider. AUPs are difficult for librarians because they are fraught with intellectual freedom issues. All AUPs, however, regardless of institutional affiliation, should contain these 4 components: mission statement, service provider, clientele, and disclaimer. Discusses the issues which libraries must address in drawing up UAPs, including privacy, anonymity, user education and the consequences of AUP violation. All these issues should be discussed at length and decisions made before Internet access, especially electronic mail opportunities, is offered to staff and patrons

- Abstract
- With the establishment of the WWW as a standard information tool in academic libraries, there is a greater demand for research assistance than ever before. Reference questions involve more teaching time given the number of interfaces clients confront as they navigate the book catalogue, electronic databases, and the WWW. Librarians require expert knowledge of multiple search strategies as well as the ability to teach others how to apply them effectively. Outlines hoe the WWW can function as a desktop publishing system, revitalize subject pathfinders and 'how to' guides, and promote the invention of interactive library tutorials. A Web site presenting design ideas accompanies this article at: http://stauffer.queensu.ca/inforef/tutorials/cla/clahome.htm
