Internet and Reference Services: Implications for Academic Libraries

Abstract

Discusses the challenge Internet presents to the reference service in academic libraries. Sees text education as an issue of high priority but also recommends inclusion of the acquisition of electronic journals, local archiving of retrieved data and the provision of bibliographic access through the local library catalogue to resources available in the Internet in a model of new age library services.
