Abstrakt: With the explosion of information readily available via the World Wide Web, library patrons come in with certain misconceptions and walk away disappointed when their expectations are not met. Common user misconceptions include that everything is available on the Web in full-text, and that the local library subscribes to the materials the user wants or needs. Today' s patrons expect access anytime and from any location. How realistic is this picture, and how can librarians best provide access to these web re- sources? This paper describes the current online environment and various approaches to provide access to the resources available electronically-title lists, databases, and integration into the OPAC.
