Abstract

The concept of a digital library has been stimulated by recent advances in computing technology. These developments hold the promise of transforming libraries into interactive centres of learning and research by virtue of inexpensive digital storage, easy-to-use search engines, and powerful computing hardware. However, libraries are handicapped in their move to digital collections by enormous legal problems in securing rights to much of the current literature. Solutions to this dilemma are not on the immediate horizon, but eventually will include changes in the current copyright law and technological arrangements to protect the interests of the owners of intellectual property. Suggests that librarians might find a more valuable role not in getting information to an electronic state, but in being its organizers and facilitators

Abstract

Reviews selected surveys of the status of technological applications in librarires and reports results of a survey, of 200 public libraries, 200 school libraries, 200 special libraries, and 200 college libraries and university libraries, randomly selected from the American Library Directory, to investigate the current attitudes towards technological applications and implementations. Results indicate that very few professional information professionals believe that their facilities contain state of the art equipment: a conclusion strengthened by the fact that only one third of the respondents have OPACs or use electronic mail, and less than 50% have access to CD-ROMs. In the case of the more esoteric applications, only 2% make use of expert systems, only 4% have hypertext, and 8% have voice mail. Concludes that, as money tightens throughout the 90s, libraries will have to seek out new technologies as a means of delivering quality information services at a reasonable cost
