- W313394491 abstract "Noting that telecommunications technology is making it possible to search catalogs around the nation and the world via a modem and a personal computer, this paper highlights some of the reasons why a researcher would wish to search catalogs through the Internet, which is a network of networks with connections to nearly 1,000 regional, government, and campus networks. The paper also discusses some of the problems that may be encountered by researchers who wish to use Internet to retrieve information, and describes efforts being made in the Northwestern University library's reference department to improvc the existing documentation on Internet for its users. Outreach programs designed to increase faculty members' awareness and use of remote catalogs are also described. The paper concludes with a discussion of efforts being made on a national scale to extend the outreach of the Internet, which will promote the provision of information resources on existing networks and on proposed interconnected networks.

One reason for my interest in this topic is that it is a natural extension of developments in our field. It would be an understatement to say that two strong concerns of librarians in the recent past have been both online public catalogs and telecommunications. Just when you think ali that could be said about online catalogs has been said, the Internet comes along to offer a new twist. As a reference and bibliographic instruction librarian, understanding and communicating strategies for catalog access is an important and daily component of my job. The same can be said for telecommunications. A typical day for me begins at a terminal with my electronic mail, reading and sending messages to colleagues on campus and around the country, as well as being a subscriber to a new bibliographic instruction list service. As a librarian new to Illinois I have been an amazed and gratzful user of ILLINET Online. When we hope for a new staff pc in the Reference Department we wouldn't dream of not requesting a modem at the same time. All this is given as evidence that telecommunications are a growing part of all our professional lives. Thanks to the Internet connections now in place, researchers across the country have the technical capacity to access catalogs at other universities directly through their campus computer networks. Technology is bringing us closer to the ideal of the library without walls. It is now possible not only to search local catalogs via a modem and personal computer, but to extend searching electronically and economically to collections around the country and the world. In this presentation I will highlight some of the reasons a researcher may wish to search catalogs through the Internet, provide some directions and support for encouraging researchers to take the first steps to being a user on the Internet, and describe efforts being made in Northwestern University Library's Reference Department to increase awareness and use of remote catalogs.
