Abstract
Any physical distance which separates an information center from patrons presents a barrier to service delivery. New information technologies, particularly CD-ROM databases, are difficult for users at remote sites to access. Providing access to information technologies such as CD-ROMs can enhance the library's image by satisfying its clientele. This article discusses the use of remote communications softwave as an inexpensive way to deliver information technologies to users at remote locations
