This paper is intended to provide interested librarians with a basic knowledge of research networks (as opposed to library networks), focusing specifically on the manner in which they can be used by the international library community to support library functions and improve access to bibliographic information, as well as the technical and policy issues involved in research network use. (Research networks are defined as networks developed within the academic community to provide the infrastructure for a variety of networking tasks, while library networks are designed specifically to support the nuts and bolts operations of libraries.) While major projects involving library/research network connectivity are discussed, the primary focus of the study is the potential for research network use and available standards. After an introductory initial chapter, the second chapter provides an overview of network concepts, including network types and protocols. Library applications of research networks are addressed in the third chapter, including applications for bibliographic provision, document supply, and technical services. In the fourth chapter, library and research network projects in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan are described. Technical and policy issues, including governance, intellectual property rights, appropriate use, access, and staffing, are considered in the fifth chapter. Chapter 5 also discusses the outlook for developing nations; chapter 6 looks briefly at future network initiatives; and chapter 7 summarizes benefits of and obstacles to library use of research networks. Relevant standards are listed; and the appendix provides background information (i.e., name, date started, purpose, location, configuration, governance, financing, membership, and connections) for networks in North America, Europe, Eastern Europe, Australasia, South East Asia, Southern Asia, the Far East, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa.

This report, which considers the role of networking activities associated with the technical telecommunication links that bind libraries, services, and patrons together, begins with a historical review of libraries and automation-based systems over the last 19 years. The importance of the development and implementation of standards in interactive library activities for librarians using state or regional telecommunications networks is then discussed, including such factors as the need for increased functionality, performance reliability, consistent user assistance, access, and participation in governance. Also discussed are the activities of the various regional networks involved in the Linked Systems Project (lsp), including the development of standards for information transfer between systems via the telecommunications standard known as the Open Systems Interconnection (osi). The development of the Office of Library Program's leadership role in interlibrary cooperation, especially in the application of federal funding to inter- and intra-state cooperative programs for resource sharing, is also described. A concluding statement briefly discusses a number of issues currently involved in networking, and 10 recommendations are offered for the guidance of the Office of Library Programs in working toward the development of an underlying information infrastructure parallel with the telecommunications infrastructure being created by the National Science Foundation (nsf) and other federal agencies.

Major changes in networking standards in the last seven months will change the roles of computer communications for the next five years. Stallings waited for the actual revised ANSI standard, and has detailed only the important changes that every network user and administrator needs to know.
