- Reference and Collection Development on the Internet: A How-To-Do-It Manual. How-To-Do-It Manuals for Librarians, Number 66. Thomsen, Elizabeth Electronic Mail Information Sources Internet Librarians Library Collection Development Library Cooperation Online Catalogs Reference Services World Wide Web The challenges faced by reference and collection development staff have become increasingly complex in recent years, as more and more materials--in a variety of formats--have become available. This book shows reference and collection development librarians how to use the Internet to share information through online conversations and online resources. Chapters 1 and 2 include a history of the Internet with a special emphasis on the Internet as a community, and an overview of the tools of the trade. Chapters 3-8 discuss how reference and collection librarians can use Internet fundamentals (e-mail, USENET newsgroups, Gopher, and the World Wide Web) and special resources (library catalogs, databases, electronic books, and Frequently Asked Questions files) to better serve their patrons. Appendices include: "The Virtual Vertical File," a selective compilation of Web sources, and "The List of Lists," a subject arrangement of booklists on the Internet. (Author/AEF)
