    Abstract
    Beginning in 1992 the University Libraries at the Pennsylvania State University embarked on a program to formally transform its organization following the principles of Continuous Quality Improvement, or, as it is more commonly known, Total Quality Management. The process by which the Cataloging Department underwent reorganization into teams is described, as well as its strategic use of computing technology in rationalizing and streamlining its workflows. In creating an organizational restructuring that permitted a more rapid and flexible response to new assignments and changing conditions, the Cataloging Department positioned itself to effectively assume new responsibilities as emerging formats and other library materials were acquired or made accessible to library patrons. The essay concludes with a frank assessment of the lessons learned in undergoing reorganization, as well as weighing the successes and failures experienced by the Cataloging Department.

    Abstract
    As a powerful and radically new information medium, the World Wide Web has been embraced by libraries, as information centers par excellence, for its potential in effectively addressing patron needs. Because of the Web's rapid growth, librarians and other information professionals are developing a variety of solutions to bring the explosion of Web resources under control. While paradigmatic transformations like that taking place in the information industry today have become a tangible reality, information professionals are recognizing that only through the strategic redefining of the essential functions of libraries - selection, acquisition, organization, and access - will the transformative power of such change be harnessed most effectively. This paper attempts to characterize the conceptual 'playing field' of the current transformations taking place, and in so doing process a structural model of the relationship that libraries should develop to Internet-based resources. The tandem concepts of digital libraries and metadata are key components of this model, and the intent is to anchor them firmly within the organizational and managerial context of library administration. How we mentally structure and 'visualize' a library's role is the unfolding digital revolution is critical to the future of libraries as institutions. In visualizing this role, librarians should focus on the library's traditional functions and rethink these functions in the new digital environment. The two concepts hold the potential for fully integrating the essential functions of the library into the digital environment, and strategically centering the library for the critical role it should play in the coming digital society of the 21st century
