Abstract
After using Dialogue Information Services to research the question, "Who should have access to Internet?" I realized how dependent we have become upon electronic information gathering. At one time, Dialog was also touted as the great learning tool of the future, yet no one worried about access to its data bases-we simply learned to use it for what it was. The same scenario will probably occur in the case of lnternet.
Although there are not a great many articles concerning access to Internet, many articles concern purposes for which Internet should be used. If purpose demands access, everyone in the educational system should have access to Internet. If one subscribes to the theories of Connell and Franklin (1994), access will be controlled by one of three groups: government, business, or private citizens. Government would like to control access to Internet, especially information that may be morally or ethically inappropriate. Business would, of course, like to tum Internet into a giant shopping mart. Private citizens would support a wide-open network where anything goes.
