ABSTRACT: Paper examines the positive and negative impacts of
the
Internet on costs and productivity in libraries. The Internet can
simultaneously have positive and negative impacts in both areas. It is
necessary to identify both actual and opportunity costs. The nature of
these costs is explored, and the significant savings which can be
achieved are detailed. The impact of use and misuse on staff
productivity is discussed. The origins of questionable beliefs are
examined and careful and sceptical management is recommended.

Homesteading
on the Web: the Queensland Department of Education Virtual Library (new window) IRSQ:
Internet Reference Services Quarterly,
1(3) 87-98
ABSTRACT: In seeking an
alternative to the urban-built environment model of large multi-purpose
networks, the Library Services Branch of the Queensland Department of
Education developed a viable alternative in a homesteading model. Use
of this model resulted in the in-house development of a low-cost,
standalone, server and homepage. Paper discusses the two models, and
the use of the charette technique to plan and design the Queensland
Department of Education Virtual Library. The technical set-up, and a
dedicated link to the Internet was achieved within a month, and the
development of the Virtual Library, in three weeks. The benefits of
ensuring that a library-centric approach to selection of resources for
inclusion in the Virtual Library are described.
