Abstract
IN THE LAST DECADE, many academic libraries have installed online public access catalogs (OPACS). Recently, many of them have begun to provide users with dial-up access and access across various networks, including the Internet. As these connections have multiplied, the combination of electronic library services and connections across high-speed telecommunications networks have begun to transform both the use of library resources and the way in which users and librarians perceive the library. This paper focuses on means and issues associated with the development of what Kibbey and Evans have termed “location independence” (Kibbey and Evans, 1989, p. 16), and it suggests how remote access to library resources may prove of special benefit to scholars in the humanities and other areas of scholarship highly reliant on library services.
