SHOULD TELEPHONE COMPANIES PROVIDE INFORMATION SERVICE?

Abstract

Since the breakup of AT&T, policy debates on the provision of information services—including broadband telecommunications and electronic information—has made news. For librarians, the issues have come closer to home in this decade, as court decisions and pending legislation have put the spotlight on whether regional phone companies should be allowed to supply information services directly. Now librarians are trying to develop a position that would favor library interests.
