Abstract

The reason for doing research into open learning and the internet from a public library point of view has a sound base in the current developments in South Ayrshire Libraries CyberCentres. The practicalities of designing and leading such a research project, while employed as IT Co-ordinator for the library authority, brought together a number of issues currently under examination in this area of research and practice. The research project itself was begun in September 1997 and ran for l4 months.
