Abstract

     The World Wide Web is increasingly being used by libraries as 
a way to extend traditional services to patrons. The Web can also 
be used as a tool to facilitate communications between library 
professionals and to deliver presentations, organize exhibits, and 
develop demonstration projects. The allocation of personal Web 
work space on a library server provides librarians with a means 
to experiment with using the medium and a place to publish 
information of interest to the library profession. This paper 
explores the uses of the Web to enhance communications 
between library professionals and addresses some of the issues 
associated with such uses.
