Abstract	This study, sponsored by the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, sought to: (1) provide longitudinal data regarding the percentage of public libraries connected to the Internet; (2) provide longitudinal data regarding the percentage of public libraries that provide graphical public access Internet services; (3) provide longitudinal data regarding the speed of library public access Internet services; (4) explore the funding sources that support public library Internet connectivity and information technology infrastructure development; (5) explore the level of use of online database resources, blocking technologies, and special software/hardware for individuals with disabilities by public libraries that provide public Internet access service; (6) explore the extent and nature of library public access Internet acceptable use policies; and (7) explore the extent and nature of library Internet training services offered by libraries to various types of library users and staff. Data were collected by a survey mailed to a sample of 1,500 public library outlets in May 2000. This report summarizes key findings by metropolitan status and poverty level.
