    Abstract
    Although the 'information poor' are already present, the arrival of a much greater gap between the 'information poor' and 'information rich' is forecast in the book: Sovereign individual, by J.D. Davidson and W. Rees-Mogg. Concludes that, if the events forecast in the book come about, there will not be an information society but an unacceptable society

    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
    Die Universitätsbibliothek Bielefeld hat vom 3. bis 5. Februar fast 400 Informationsexperten aus 30 Ländern zur 9. Internationalen Bielefeld Konferenz willkommen geheißen. »Up-grading the eLibrary: Enhanced Information Services Driven by Technology and Economics« lautete das Thema der diesjährigen Konferenz. Im Mittelpunkt stand das Thema »eLibrary«. Geänderte Modelle wissenschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit, neue Technologien, die Anforderungen der Nutzer, aber auch ökonomische Entwicklungen erfordern eine Weiterentwicklung der »electronic library« zur »enhanced library«. Diese Entwicklung birgt neue Herausforderungen, eröffnet aber auch neue Möglichkeiten für eine Optimierung wissenschaftlicher Informationsdienste.

    Abstract
    Addresses the technical and policy issues in the development of an international infrastructure for the flow of information by studying the emerging national information infrastructures in 6 post communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The study consisted of interviews with over 300 library managers, computing network administrators, government policy makers and other information professionals conducted in 1993 and 1994 in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, plus a 1994 mail survey of research libraries in these countries. After presenting the principles under which the G-7 leading industrialized countries have agreed to collaborate on constructing a Global Information Infrastructure (GII), presents examples from the survey on how the GII pronciples might be addressed. Results of the longitudinal study were reported at greater length in the Proceedings of the 58th Meeting of the ASIS, 1995, S.27-34

    Abstract
    Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), a system originally designed as a tool for subject access to the Library's own collection in the late nineteenth century, has become, in the course of the last century, the main subject retrieval tool in library catalogs throughout the United States and in many other countries. It is one of the largest non-specialized controlled vocabularies in the world. As LCSH enters a new century, it faces an information environment that has undergone vast changes from what had prevailed when LCSH began, or, indeed, from its state in the early days of the online age. In order to continue its mission and to be useful in spheres outside library catalogs as well, LCSH must adapt to the multifarious environment. One possible approach is to adopt a series of scalable and flexible syntax and application rules to meet the needs of different user communities

    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
    If we are to learn about the impact of computers and networks on society, it will be necessary to address issues from broad cultural-historical perspectives, such as has been done for print culture by those in the 'histoire du livre' tradition. There are paradoxes faced by users of the Internet that have direct implications on their conceptions of the organization of knowledge. Perceptions of knowledge structures may play roles in searching habits or in deciding about he overall appropriateness of a Net search. The Net has been compared to a world brain and is here placed in the context of an early conception of a world brain

    Abstract
    State of the art review of the trend towards library and information science professionals becoming deeply involved in the process of knowledge engineering: knowledge engineers being those who build expert systems, or knowledge based systems that emulate the performance of human experts in particular tasks or domains. Shows how library and information science professionals have fared as knowledge engineers and how their involvement relates to the perception of library and information science professionals as knowledge engineers. Discusses the tools and techniques of knowledge engineering as they have been applied to the library and information science domain, and looks at the involvement of library and information science professionals in knowledge engineering outside library and information science

    If Babel symbolized our incommensurate ambition, the Library of Alexandria showed how this Ambition might be achieved. Set up by Ptolemy I in the third century B.C., it was meant to hold every book an every imaginable subject. To ensure that no title escaped its vast catalog. a royal decree ordered that any book brought into the City was to be confiscated and copied; only then would the original (sometimes the copy) be returned. A curious document from the second century B.C., the perhaps apocryphal "Letter of Aristeas," recounts the library's origins. To assemble a universal library (says the letter), King Ptolemy wrote "to all the sovereigns and governors an earth" begging them to send to him every kind of book by every kind of author, "poets and prose writers, rhetoricians and sophists, doctors and soothsayers, historians and all others, too." The king's librarians calculated that they required 500.000 scrolls if they were to collect in Alexandria "all the books of all the peoples of the world." But even this (by our standards) modest stock of a half-million books was too much for any reader. The librarians of Alexandria devised a system of annotated catalogs for which they chose works, they deemed especially important, and appended a brief description to each title - one of the earliest "recommended reading" lists. In Alexandria, it became clear that the greater your ambition, the narrower your scope. But our ambition persists recently, the most popular Internet search service. Google, announced that it had concluded agreements with several leading research libraries to make some of their books available online to researchers.

    Es gibt das öffentliche Gut "Informationsinfrastruktur" und das private Gut "Information". Für bestimmte Teile des Informationsmarktes werden Intermediäre wie Buchhändler und Bibliotheken überflüssig. Dies gilt vor allem für den Bereich naturwissenschaftlicher, medizinischer und technischer Literatur. Dieser Bereich ist teuer und ineffizient, weil zwei Funktionen miteinander vermischt sind. Zum einen geht es um die Versorgung mit Informationen darüber, was die Wissenschaft bereits geleistet hat und was nicht ein zweites Mal erarbeitet werden muß. Zum anderen geht es darum zu wissen: Wer hat was geleistet, wer wird auf seinem Fachgebiet künftig Herausragendes leisten. Es geht um Vergangenheit und um karriererelevantes Prestige. Gemessen wird das daran, wie oft jemand in Zeitschriften mit hoher Reputation veröffentlicht und wie häufig er zitiert wird. Diese doppelte Nachfrage treibt die Preise für wis-' senschaftliche Zeitschriften. In diesem System gegenseitiger, Begünstigung dienen die Bibliotheken nur noch als Parkplätze, auf denen Geldkoffer den Besitzer wechseln - wobei uns die Parkplatzwächterweismachen wollen, die Koffer seien zu klein. Ein Teil der Lösung wird im Direktbezug einzelner Aufsätze oder Informationen liegen, unter mehr oder weniger großer finanzieller Selbstbeteiligung der Wissenschaftler. Die Bibliothekare werden überflüssig wie Versicherungsmakler, sobald die Kun den ihre Versicherungen per Internet di rekt abschließen. Die strukturell bedingte Korruption je doch wird erst beendet sein, wenn das System der Informationsversorgung vom System der Prestigemessung getrennt sein wird. Die Herausgeber und Gutachter der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften, außerdem die übrigen Fachgelehrten und lesenden Wissensarbeiter sollten ihre Bewertungen von prestigeheischenden Beiträgen deshalb direkt in eine zentrale nationale oder besser internationale Datenbank eingeben, deren Inhalt öffentlich einsehbar ist und Auswertungen gestattet, beispielsweise wenn Stellen zu besetzen sind. Der Internetbuchhändler Amazon liefert mit seinen Leserbewertungen ein primitives Modell, das man beliebig verfeinern könnte. Und die Geisteswissenschaften? Bleiben sie nicht auf der Strecke, ebenso wie die Bibliotheken und ihr sogenannter "Kulturauftrag"? Am Beispiel der Bibliotheken zeigt sich vielmehr, daß wir die Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft, ihre Differenzierung nach funktionalen Gesichtspunkten selbst als unseren Kulturauftrag betrachten müssen. Einer künftigen Differenzierung in stark verschulte Lehramts- und "Bachelor"-Studiengänge einerseits und wissenschaftliche Master- und Promotionsstudiengänge andererseits entspräche eine Einteilung in möglichst virtualisierte Lehrstoffsammlungen und spezialisierte, um Archive oder Themenschwerpunkteherum organisierte Präsenzbibliotheken. Ihren tiefer als bisher verstandenen Kulturauftrag- den Bibliotheken - pathetisch gesprochen - als Friedhöfe des Geistes, als Mausoleen identitätstiftender Kulturdenkmäler, mit der Wissenschaft als begleitendem Totenamt. Wer liegt nicht lieber auf dem Père-Lachaise als auf dem Stadtfriedhof von Vechta? Das Internet könnte also bei der nationalen Reorganisation und Konzentration der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschungsbibliotheken als Börse dienen, in der Dauerleihgaben getauscht und zu .zeitlich begrenzten Sammlungen zusammengeführt werden können. Die Bibliothekare müßten jedoch auch hier ihre Fixierung auf stets wachsende Bestände lösen und die Differenz von unveräußerlichem Eigentum und befristetem Besitz - der "Nutzung" - lernen. In der Bibel steht nicht, was mit der Mutter und ihrem Kind weiter geschah. Sicher ist nur, daß sie nicht heimgingen, um gemeinsam eine "hybride Bibliothek", oder andere Ungeheuer auszubrüten, an die sogar der weise Wissenschaftsrat glaubt."
