Libraries & the Mega-Internet Sites
 -  
ISBN 1-57440-096-7   Publication Date:  2/2008

This report presents data from more than 120 academic, special and
public libraries about how they use and relate to the mega-internet
sites such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook, MySpace, eBay, Amazon, and 
others.  

In many ways the mega-sites have transformed library management, fostering
change in information literacy education, library marketing and 
public relations, cataloging, digitization, collection management
and other aspects of librarianship.  Library patrons often learn their
initial information searching skills from the internet sites, as well as their
formative information gathering experiences, creating a set of experiences and
expectations that they bring to the library.  This report provides hard data on 
exactly how libraries are dealing with the emerging internet giants, how they are 
adopting, negotiating, repelling, embracing and in every way developing strategies to 
provide the best possible information services to their clientele.
