Title

¬The public library on the electronic frontier : starting a community online information system

Source

Illinois libraries. 77(1995) no.4, S.195-209

Year

1995

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
