    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
    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
    Considers whether the growing power of IT and networking can be harnessed by public librarians to make fundamental changes to the opportunities facing them, rather than merely delivering existing services more effectively or cheaply. Presents 4 paradigms as a means of raising questions about what can and should be done to make the public library the central agency in the information (or learning) society. They comprise: the public library as an agent for community computing; as the community university; as the local service in a global network; and as the personal virtual library

    Abstract
    Business process re-engineering (or redesign) has achieved mixed results in business and industry but it offers an approach to thinking about the future of academic libraries in the digital age that is worth considering. This paper outlines the forces that are currently affecting academic libraries in the UK and proposes a strategy whereby the transformation from the handling of artefacts to the handling of electronic sources may be effected with maximum benefit to the information user.

    Telemediatisierung und Kommodifizierung der Bereiche von Wissen und Information beeinflussen zunehmend auch die Infrastrukturen für die Informationsversorgung in Wissenschaft und Ausbildung. Es wird diskutiert, wodurch das für Wissenschaft und Ausbildung zentrale Ziel des freien Zugriffs auf Wissen gefährdet, aber auch befördert wird. Zahlreiche Initiativen, Projekte und Deklarationen machen deutlich, dass im öffentlichen und privaten Bereich die Herausforderungen der virtuellen Organisation der Informationsversorgung aufgegriffen werden, ohne dass allerdings bislang eine überzeugende Gesamtkonzeption vorliegt, weder in makrostruktureller Hinsicht (wie sich Bibliotheken im kompetitiven Geflecht der postprofessionellen Informationsmärkte positionieren sollen) noch in mikrostruktureller Hinsicht (welche neuen integrierte Formen der Infrastruktur an Hochschulen sich entwickeln sollen). Die auf Effizienz ausgerichteten Aktivitäten von Verlagen, von Buchhandel, Fachinformationssystemen, Vermittlern und Content Providern des Internet werden exemplarisch, vor allem mit Blick auf die Volltextversorgung, vorgestellt, und ihnen werden die eher binnen-bibliothekarischen Maßnahmen gegenübergestellt. Im Ausgang von Daten aus der Bibliotheksstatistk 2001 zum Aufwand für Bibliotheken und deren Nutzung wird ein Gedankenexperiment angestellt, ob bei Wegfall der bibliothekarischen Leistung der Bedarf nach Informationsversorgung direkt von jedem Wissenschaftler durch Nutzung der Marktangebote gedeckt werden könnte. Unter Effizienzgesichtspunkten kann das durchaus erfolgreich sein. Die dabei fast unvermeidbar zum Einsatz kommenden Lizenzierungs-, Kontroll- und Abrechnungsverfahren (über Digital Rights Management) konfligieren aber mit dem Ziel der offenen und freien Nutzung und sind sowohl den Zielen der Wissenschaft als auch, langfristig, den Innovationszielen der Wirtschaft konträr. Alternativ wird diskutiert, inwieweit die Selbstorganisationsformen der Wissenschaft (OAI, SPARC, BOAI und so weiter) eine umfassende substituierende oder komplementäre Alternative der Informationsversorgung darstellen können. Als mikrostrukturelle Konsequenz wird die Integration der bisherigen weitgehend getrennten Einrichtungen, also die langfristige Aufhebung der autonomen Bibliotheks-, Rechenzentrums- oder Multimedia-Einheiten und die schrittweise Zusammenlegung in leistungsfähige Infrastrukturen für Information und Kommunikation, als zwingend angesehen, wobei dem Wissensmanagement, einschließlich des Rights Management, eine zentrale Funktion zukommt. Die neue Infrastruktur kann, auch angesichts technologischer Entwicklung der Digitalisierung und des Publishing an Demand, von dem bisherigen umfassenden, ohnehin kaum noch einzulösenden Kultursicherungsauftrag befreit werden; dieser kann von einigen wenigen zentralen Einrichtungen wahrgenommen werden. In makrostruktureller Hinsicht müssen klare Alternativen zur fortschreitenden Kommodifizierung von Wissen und Information entwickelt werden. Die Gesellschaft muss dem Charakter des Wissens als »Commons« Rechnung tragen. Es muss eine Publikations- und Distributions-/Zugriffs-Infrastruktur geschaffen und finanziert werden, die das Bedürfnis nach freiem und offenem Austausch produzierten Wissens befriedigen kann, in erster Linie durch die virtuelle (verteilte, vernetzte) Organisation von umfassenden Aufbereitungs-, Nachweis- und Auslieferungsleistungen, weitgehend aus der Wissenschaft selber. Benötigt wird das transparente umfassende Wissenschaftsportal der Informationsversorgung (in Erweiterung der Idee der koordinierten virtuellen Bibliotheken). Nicht zuletzt wird für das gesamte Gebiet von Wissen und Information eine neue koordinierende Infrastruktur benötigt.

    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
    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
    A review of the future of academic libraries that draws initially on a generic model to describe the components of all library systems. Touches upon some economic changes and looks for evidence in statistical trends derived from United Kingdom reportage. From this extrapolates scenarios relating to the function of libraries as a collection of resources, as a physical place, its role in organising information and its service function. Library collections will continue to exist but described in different ways, whilst physical collections will mutate into multi-functional spaces. Knowledge management will become increasingly important and the overriding shift will be towards a service and support role. The librarian's role is also discussed and changes summarised.

    Abstract
    References to virtual libraries, virtual technology, virtual reality and the Information Superhighway fill technology and library journals, conference programmes, and the popular press. Discusses various definitions of the virtual library and observes that what has so far taken place in academic libraries is merely modernization and automation. To move beyond this stage to a transformation of the academic library and its services new strategies are required, including a reengineering of organizational structures and processes. But ransformation cannot occur in isolation and collaboration and cooperation must reach beyond individual departments, libraries, and campuses, and include commercial as well as academic interests. Suggests how a transformed academic library of the future might function in terms of the physical library; the library's services; organizational structure and personnel; and library networks. 4 potential network models are examined

    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
    Purpose - To argue that theoretical models from non-LIS disciplines can be of practical benefit to practitioner LIS research. In the area of digitisation collection development policy, such models highlight the importance of digital library preservation issues. Design/methodology/approach - An application of formal models from cultural theories derived from structuralism and semiotics to LIS problems. Findings - Theoretical models from non-LIS disciplines help illustrate and understand problems such as developing information literacy in the digital library environment or creating a balance between the need to develop new digital collections and the preservation of the digital collections which have already been created. Research limitations/implications - This is a theoretical argument that could be tested by practical case study investigation. Practical implications - The paper suggests that resourcing should be applied to digital preservation activity rather than a fresh round of digitisation of print originals, the preservation implications of which are uncertain. Originality/value - This paper gives some original perspectives on practical LIS challenges by applying abstract ideas from the area of cultural theory and applied linguistics.

    Abstract
    In a dynamic, information and technology-driven society, librarians can create new roles by assessing changes in their environment, the potential effect and ways to reposition themselves. Scenario building, literature reviews, situation analysis, speculation and forecasting may be used. Librarians have a good idea of what they can offer, but are often unable to reposition themselves in time. Reasons for this generally slow reaction are speculated on and the future role of librarians (including expected knowledge and skills) is briefly reviewed. An argument is then pursued on how an educational perspective that supports a constructivist-learning environment, portfolio assessment, and affective and metacognitive skills could support librarians in preparing for change. The value of task analysis, needs assessment, and market research are mentioned briefly. Apart from knowledge (cognitive level), teaching should focus on affective and metacognitive skills, decision-making abilities, environmental scanning, change management and the typical personality characteristics required to survive in the cyber age (e.g. assertiveness, self-confidence, creative thinking, and innovativeness).
