Results of a survey of college men and women at a small liberal arts college indicated that women used the Internet less than men, were not equally active in using it, and were not interested in using it for the same reasons. Men and women did not use the same functions. The survey results present descriptive findings about patterns of usage that will be helpful to librarians and other support personnel planning workshops for students. © 1998 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
