    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

    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
    Outlines a practical programme for setting up a low-cost dogotal library server using an electronic mail interface. This approach can be used by any small library, non-profit group or corporation with a volume of information it wishes to make available to the public at minimal cost. Suggests hardware and software configurations and recommends a possible upgrade path. Discusses the reasons for preferring the Linux adaptation of UNIX for the platform for this application. Recommends a mail transport agent and outlines mail server programs available. Provides a bibliography which includes all online and printed references necessary to obtain and configure the software discussed

    Abstract
    Suggests that the public library system in America is unique among nations for universal accessibility and openness to knowledge at community level. Suggests 4 features are distinctive: continuous expansion of the body of knowledge; knowledge accessibility in a free society; libraries as 'temples of pluralism', and simultaneously a unifying force in communal relations. Ideals are threatened by the information flood generated by new technology, with its repercussions on the communal functions of libraries. The Library of Congress's National Digital Library aims at a leadership role in the new electronic environment

    Abstract
    Far from being 'paperless', libraries of the 21st century will not wholly convert from print to electronic formats, as many have predicted. Instead, libraries of the future will combine information in many formats, print and non-print, and partition their collections into various electronic, computerised, media and print formats; in effect 'freezing' portions of the collection in their most appropriate formats based on the content and usage of materials, in somewhat the same way as libraries of the late 20th century 'froe' their catalogues during their retrospective conversion prpjects. As part of the coming climatic adaptation, a new and important occupation of future libraries will be the design, construction and maintenance of unique, value-added databases to hold information that is immediately pertinent to the specific needs of the library's patrons. In this new type of librarianship, the lines separating librarian, researcher and publisher will become flexible in order to capture information needed immediately by library users

    Abstract
    There is a worldwide effort to develop the Information Society in order to support new economic growth. A new economy is planned which to a large extent will be based on the trading of intellectual property on the global network under the umbrella of the development of electronic commerce. Different library types will meet different challenges brought about by this shift in the global economy. In its optimal form, e-commerce of intellectual property will mean that from every access point on the global network it will be possible to search, order, download and pay for all kinds of items or commodities which can, in turn, be stored and transported digitally. One of the most serious challenges to library roles will be for those libraries which have offered services to the general public, such as public libraries, or to a large part of the public (such as students in an academic library). These libraries are easily defined as political projects established to fulfil societal aims. New roles in the digital future have to be developed in accordance with the needs of market forces in general and in accordance with the laws of competition

    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
    Discusses the implications of several recent trends in the development of distributed networking systems for the design and implementation of virtual library services and the role of the virtual librarian. Considers the role of librarians in end-user instruction; staff training and professional development for librarians; database design and user interfaces for virtual library services; the implications for cataloguing departments of the various initiatives for indexing and cataloguing documents on the Internet including metadata and metatagging; and the need for librarians to face organizational change, offer proactive service and embrace collaboration

    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
    Explores the idea that virtual books will send printed books into obsolescnece within the next decade giving rise to either book museums or to virtual libraries. The evidence suggestss that because librarians value confidentiality, intellectual freedom, users' ability to find information independently, awareness of their role in the community, literacy and continuing professional education, their educational role in helping users to navigate collections of books will not become redundant with the growth of electronic resources. Explores these trends in an art library context focusing on the indispensible nature of the art librarian

    Abstract
    CyberLib is the vision of a library whose essential functions, objects and services are offered in an artificial created environment. Making available different work environments that meet the individual user's needs is a very special characteristic of the capacity of CyberLib. Every vision has to be checked for its economic feasibility. How can CyberLib charge its users for its services with the clear target of making a profit and thus enter an open and measurable competition with other CyberLib in order to create a calculable and transparent information market? The paper will discuss different possibilities, such as automomous profit centers, the coexistence of conventional information sources and CyberLib and other forms of financing, e.g. by means of advertising
