Learn how libraries have risen to the challenges created by the
fall of Communism and the rise of information technology
"How do librarians and researchers face war, social upheaval, and
other challenges after the fall of Communism and the rise of
digital technology?" Libraries in Open Societies offers fascinating
answers to this and many other questions while providing an
overview of this rapidly changing arena. An international panel of
authors who know the specialized concerns of libraries in Eastern
Europe and the former USSR addresses topics that include the
difficulty of preserving and acquiring materials, the importance of
international cooperation, and the benefits and pitfalls of
electronic media.
This book also discusses the rise of the Internet in Russia, the
movement of international bibliographies onto the Web, and other
features of the digital revolution. Libraries in Open Societies,
itself an example of the value of international cooperation in the
modern world, will be an important addition to your bookshelves
