TY - JOUR A1 - Hobohm, Hans-Christoph T1 - Entering the New Market Place T2 - IFLA journal N2 - On the basis of the experience gained by implementing the German national Internet information server for the social sciences, some general reflections are made on the status of providing information by this communication channel. For a certain time the dissemination of information via the Internet will mean an extra workload for the majority of traditional participants in the information market. Other information and publishing media like books, journals or databases will remain the central part of the market. On the other hand it is obvious that Internet information activities will have an essential impact in the near future, while the market player's positions will undergo a fundamental redefinition. Before entering the new market, information providers must analyze carefully their own goals, strenghs and possibilities. The task of social information specialists is to assure the scientific quality of the information they are offering.
