Summary:The Internet, which began as a vehicle for scholars to convey ideas in an open forum, in real time and free of geographic confines, currently is viewed as a World Wide Web of computer networks carrying everything from books to stock trades almost at the speed of thought.

Have faculty discovered the on-ramp to the information superhighway or are they still parked in their own driveways?
