Description:
Librarians have always been at the forefront of the information age. A new breed of librarian is emerging called the "cybrarian," someone who is comfortable with online reference material--and where to find it. The culture of the Net is shaped by cybrarians who have been working quietly for many years, using and improving information-retrieval techniques. This group of essays is a guidebook for librarians, telling them what to expect in the online world. Among the topics discussed are the relationship of the public library to the Internet, using the Net to meet and confer with colleagues, electronic freedoms and rights, intelligence agents, search engines, and more. The writers use a straightforward, engaging style. One of the more intriguing sections is about the future of information services via virtual libraries. Be sure to read the "It's Time to Ask (Alternate) Dr. Internet!" sections. If only the soaking up of Net culture could always be this much fun.
