SUMMARY The Internet The Internet has become an influential and widely discussed phenome- non of the 1990s, with more than 38 million users in Dec. 1994. This international network of computer networks is important for business, research, education, many of the professions, as well as for libraries of all kinds. Traces the history of the Internet back to 1969. The Internet is described; the basic Internet tools and services are discussed, such as electronic mail, listservs, electronic journals, USNET newsgroups, telnet, ftp, gopher and the World Wide Web. A research carried out by the author in 1993-1994 among school media specialists using the Internet has shown that the major applications of the Internet in libraries are for professional contact and communication, for answering reference questions and provid- ing information services, for locating information about resources for possi- ble acquisition or as the basis of inter-Iibrary loan requests, for providing Internet access for library users and as means by which libraries can make information available outside their own walls. Concludes with a short sec- tion on how to get more information about the Internet and a selected bibliography related to the use of the Internet in libraries. In addition some pointers to library-related Internet resources (Icelandic and international as well) are provided.
