Abstract

It was based on telephone survey all the schools in three administrative regions of Iceland and on existing data. Teachers and the students in Iceland have a high level of access to the computers to the national education network, ISMENNT. However, the use in elementary schools of automated library systems, CD-ROMs, online information systems, and the Internet has been slowed by factors related to the country's unique language and culture, the small population base, the lack of trained library stuff, And The reported unwillingness of teachers to use new technologies.
