Abstract

Technological as well as economic changes have made it clear that the familiar role of librarians as information intermediaries must undergo immense change if librarians are to avoid being displaced by a variety of contenders. Predicts that it will not be far into the 21st century before the librarian's role in the information retrieval process disappears in the face of perfected end user access. At the Bank of Montreal, librarians are responding to this challenge by implementing prototypes of the 'virtual library' and developing user self sufficiency as information products and costs lend themselves to this concept
