Creating the Future: Essays on Librarianship in an Age of Great Change

by Sally Gardner Reed (Editor)

A collection of fifteen essays answering questions posed by the information age toward libraries and librarian practices. Most of the answers involve the role of technology on public and academic learning environments, and the claims and concerns evolving from a future cyber library. Obviously, these discussions lead to the changing roles of librarians, their recruitment, mission, and education, as well as the funding and management challenges that will face them in creating equal access to library services and technology.
