Abstract: THE INTERNET education and libraries, but this CAN REINVIGORATEoutcome is not certain.A key factor in achieving this goal is distinguishing between the technological content of the Internet and embedding i t in a particular context.One useful context isinformation literacy.In addition, a number of other important issues must be addressed.These include the changing role of the Internet in the classroom, library, and workplace; the economic and geographic barriers to accessing the Internet; the implications of different privatization approaches; the impact of the Internet on professional school curricula; and the need for better tools and user interfaces.One additional concern should be the integration of Internet resources with the existing infrastructure of the nation's libraries and library systems.In short, educators and librarians must ensure that the evolving National Information Infrastructure (MI)reflects their needs and concerns.To do so, they must gain cooperation from the public and private sectors.The result may be an education revolution in which teachers and librarians help students develop the job readiness skills necessary to succeed in an information-intensive economy.
