Description
Public and school libraries are increasingly providing access to important new information resources for local communities through the Internet. Published here is key information from the Internetworking Rural Libraries Institute, a model national educational program in electronic networking designed for leaders of public and school library personnel. State and local policy makers will benefit from up-to-date knowledge on telecommunications access, costs, and legal implications. Experts provide guidance on a range of topics dealing with the Internet and electronic resources and describe the experience they gained implementing and using specific resources for the public.
