This book, first published in 1990, analyses the variety of ways in
which libraries extend their resources to users beyond the physical
walls of their organization. Librarians discuss the concept of the
library as more than just a place - since its holdings can now
appear on the screen of users' computers in the same city or in a
city hundreds of miles away - but rather as a force that
electronically links users directly with both local and remote
sources of information. Six informative chapters examine electronic
information systems and document delivery from the local collection
to the workplace, between system libraries and from non-library
sources. Readers can look first hand at some of the most
sophisticated and widespread systems in the country, including four
academic libraries that promote electronic services to remote users
and two special libraries offering innovative services. The
authoritative contributing authors also forecast new systems and
services.
