Abstract

Advances in information storage and communication technology have made it possible to tranport all recorded formats - sight, sound, motion and text - to wherever networking infrastructure exists. In this virtual library environment anyone equipped to reach the network can potentially retrieve the resources it offers. Paradoxically, while access to information has been technologically facilitated through Internet, the process of locating desired information has become more complex for the user. Issues confronting virtual library managers are discussed - computer literacy, the user interface, user education, and organization of electronically available knowledge. The challenge to library professionals in the new virtual library environment is to develop and implement standards for organizing the diverse electronic recources available, and to facilitate information retrieval, in order to continue to provide the best possible service to the largest number of users
