    Abstract
    "Wird die Öffentliche Bibliothek der Zukunft eine andere sein als die der Vergangenheit? Mehr als 15 Jahre haben wir die Entwicklung von hochmodernen Informationssystemen und die Verbreitung des PC verfolgt; jedoch sehen alle Öffentlichen Bibliotheken, die ich vor kurzem besuchte, genauso wie vor 20 Jahren aus. Sie sind Orte der Bücher und der Menschen. Der Vormarsch der Informationstechnologien hat die Dienstleistungsangebote verändert - Bibliotheksmanagementsysteme haben die Medienverbuchung und -rückgabe sowie die Arbeit an den Katalogen usw. vereinfacht. Aber die Medien, die heute benutzt werden sind die gleichen, derer sich die Öffentlichen Bibliothekare schon seit Jahren bedienen. Die durch die Informationstechnologien bewirkten Veränderungen haben in den Randbereichen stattgefunden. Wird die Öffentliche Bibliothek verschwinden? Wenn die Internet-Revolution, die von den Weltmedien befürwortet wird, Realität wird, wenn jeder Bürger sich von überall her grenzenlos Informationen beschaffen kann, werden Öffentliche Bibliotheken dann noch irgendeine Rolle spielen? Vielleicht sollte die Frage eher lauten: 'Wann werden die Öffentlichen Bibliotheken verschwinden?'"

    Abstract
    Considers the possible potential for service development in public libraries offered by the Internet and describes the traditional models of network access and their lack of relevance to public libraries. Describes 2 current research projects currently being undertaken by public libraries to assess the value of the Internet to their services; ITPOINT, a project being conducted at Chelmsley Wood Library, Solihull, UK; and CLIP, the Croydon Libraries Internet peoject. Presents a range of new service paradigms and suggests that public libraries will become even more central to people's lives than they are today

    Abstract
    Discusses the likely future for libraries in an environment of increasing availability of information in electronic form via networks, particularly the Internet. The concept of the library will survive and thrive, but that the library as a place is an endangered species, and that librarians are facing the greatest challenge in a century

    Abstract
    Since an increasing variety of electronic information media and their hybrid developments is available in libraries, a unifying concept is needed to obviate the constant creation of new fonds and catalogues, and the futile search for the illusory 'definitive' electronic product. Suggests that although the Internet provides only a superficial integration of various electronic media, its central concept is the unifying one of hypertextuality, whose 4 main elements are the following: multilinearity; hypermediality; integrability; and interactiveness. Explains these ideas, and describes also Philip Barker's suggested 4 categories of the technologically advanced library: multimedia, electronic, digital and virtual. Makes suggestions to help librarians progress towards the virtual library

    Abstract
    Among the proposed innovations in the Clinton Administration's plans to develop a National Information Infrastructure is the creation of, and support for, digital or electronic libraries to store and provide access to the vast amounts of information expected to made available over the 'information superhighway'. Although the exact nature and future architecture of such libraries is still a matter for experimentation (and debate), there are several pioineering efforts underway to establish electronic libraries and to provide access to them. This paper describes one such effort underway at the University of California at Berkeley. In collaboration with four other universities we are developing interoperable electronic library servers containing the Computer Science technical reports for each participant and making them available over the Internet using standard protocols

    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
