Abstract The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) commissioned the authors to conduct a national survey of public library use of the Internet in the Fall of 1995. The purpose of this study was to assess the change in public library involvement with the Internet from NCLIS' 1994 national study (McClure, Bertot, and Zweizig, 1994). For the 1995-1996 study, the authors used a World-Wide Web (Web)-based version of the survey in addition to a printed questionnaire, providing respondents the option to reply to the survey through traditional print media as well as over the Internet. The authors surveyed Web-based and print-based questionnaire respondents concerning the use of Web-based questionnaires for survey research, yielding results both in favor of and in opposition to further Web-based survey research. This paper identifies several factors that contributed to these mixed results and presents recommendations for future Web-based survey research.
