Abstract

The Medical Library Center of New York, a cooperative library agency for the health sciences, developed a programme to offer an electronic communications system (LIFENET) with access to the Internet for its members. Information on documentation and training as well as statistics on the subsequent use of the system and of the Internet are discussed. Specific examples of how medical librarians are using the systems include bibliographic verification, reference work, research on integrated library systems, production of duplicate periodicals lists, and professional activities such as electronic mail and discussion groups
