- Abstract
- Presents a range of pessimistic and optimistic predictions for the future of the library. Foresees research libraries being more financially pressed and reducing acquisitions in isolation and in an uncoordinated manner. Also predicts that older materials will become less accessible, and that the nature of access will increasingly influence the nature of scholarly inquiry. Notes the optimistic promises of the virtual library, but argues that librarians will have to become more active, and harness the resources of the electronic world rather than simply learning about and playing with them. Also librarians must ask themselves how the routine ways of doing things might be done differently, given the new context of their work

- Abstract
- The form in which knowledge is described and encapsulated has a major impact on the design of libraries and the functions performed within them. New technology and the logocentric, practicentric and democentric elements of the information infrastructure have created profound changes compelling the flexible design of libraries. The book of the 17th century, television in the 20th century, and perhaps the Internet in the 21st century, open the door to self education with little economic discrimination. New roles for libraries are emerging that require flexibility in building design for moving collections, services, functions, and equipment; restructuring staff organizations, introducing new services associated with new technology; eliminating unnecessary or unaffordable services; and housing other institutional departments within the structure of the 'new' library

- Abstract
- Mankind has seen 4 major information revolutions: speech, writing, printing and information technologiy (IT). Outlines the characteristics of the IT revolution and presents 2 conceptual models, the connectivity network model, and the information superstructure model. Discusses the impact of the IT information revolution of the public library of the future. The focus of the library as warehouse will change to one where the information, not the source of the information, will form one hub of the information superstructure, and the individual customer, not a class or group of customers, will form the other. Describes the operation of the BT Information Resource Centre which acts as an information gateway serving individual user information needs. If UK public libraries do not move towards this new model they face the danger of increasing marginalization

- Abstract
- Digital image formats are now seen not only as feasible alternatives to print and microfilm formats for traditional preservation purposes, but also as the technology bearing the portential for unlimited access and distribution. Examines the requirements for browsing and exploration in the digital library of the future; and whether the open bookshelf model of a classified physical collection is suitable for the universal virtual library or whether new models of explanation are needed

- Abstract
- Reach for 'Future libraries' when they say you don't need staff, space, or collections; when they tell you to get with the all-electronic future and when they tell you that the virtual library will do it all for less. Crawford and Gorman find much of this future vision to be virtual nonsense and, in fact, devastating to the cultural mission of libraries. Thsi volume is a valuable antidote to the flood of hyperbole about libraries without walls, electronic texts and virtual collections which we have seen in the past 2 years
