Summary:There is an enormous variety and volume of information that is available through thx Internet. Librarians are keenly interested in using the Internet to answer their cli­ents’ i'eference queries. This paper reviews the use of electronic mail, electronic dis­cussion lists and telnet so as to provide reference services. Issues such as bibliograph­ic control of networked information, ease of use of Internet tools, costs, personnel and education are also briefly discussed.
