Net Notions For Librarians

Net Notions For Librarians presents some ideas to inspire librarians to use the interactive features of the World Wide Web to develop services which will attract electronic visitors to the library. They give some examples from the UK and around the world that they’ve come across during wanderings along the information superbyways. This page isn’t about putting your OPAC or local organisations database on the Web as many libraries have done but focuses on smaller scale ways of exploiting the networking idea and the interactive nature of the medium. Given enthusiasm and a modest investment in equipment and time, the ideas on this page are manageable for the local community library.
