Abstract

Community information systems originated with the field of social services but was soon adapted by public libraries in the 60s. Because it is a recent development in library services, there have been a wide range of interpretations as public libraries have attempted to incorporate these services into the more traditional library services. Presents a selective overview of the history of community information services and a review of current developments in the field.
