Constant developments in information technology are creating
fundamental changes in librarianship. This book challenges the
uncritical acceptance of these changes caused by technology. The
volume begins by explaining the importance of a critical approach
to information technology in librarianship. The first part of the
book then explores the fundamental critical issues at the heart of
technology in the library. Chapters in this section consider such
topics as the neutrality of technology, information technology and
censorship, the role of computers in education, and the sometimes
critical views of scientists on technology. The second part of the
volume looks more closely at issues related to the application of
technology in librarianship. These chapters discuss technology and
the civic role of libraries, the political apsects of electronic
information, and the role of technology in the labor process. A
selected bibliography concludes the work.
