Abstract

Examines the issues relating to the provision of online and CD-ROM technology in public libraries with questions concerning the funding and value of information in a library setting and their implications for access. Reviews the role of the public library in the total library network and makes comparisons between libraries in various states and their online policies tabulating data on: online search fees, numbers of searches conducted; types of users; and when searches takes place
