Abstract Using the Internet as a research tool has become a common practice among natural resource and other professionals. However, we know little about how natural resource professionals utilize the Internet and how they perceive the impact of the Internet on their research endeavors. The objective of this exploratory study was to address these questions by means of an online user survey posted on the Internet in the form of a World Wide Web (WWW) home page; 279 valid responses were collected from a variety of institutional affiliations and natural resource subdisciplines. Most respondents spent less than 1 h each day online, and they used email and the WWW most often. The impact of the Internet on research activities was recognized among the respondents, while two specific aspects of research activity were perceived to be more affected - literature search/acquisition and research collaboration. Important issues concerning the use of the Internet in natural resource research, as well as the utility and limitations of Internet surveys, are discussed.
