This book, first published in 1993, examines how the newest
technological developments in information storage and processing
impact print-oriented libraries. Find answers to questions on how
libraries can utilize the awesome speed, remarkable storage
capacity, and universal access of the new technology. Authoritative
contributors provide insight, inspirations, and practical
experience to the three major areas of changing technologies,
changing information worldwide, and strategies and responses of
libraries to these rapid changes. A Changing World looks at the
future of the electronic network medium and how it will provide
opportunities for accessing and using information that so far have
been unimagined by the print-dominated information industry.
Enlightening chapters explore the feasibility of electronic serials
as a realistic replacement for print journals, the future of
automated serials control systems, and the effects of information
technologies on libraries as systems and librarianship as a
profession. Discover timely indications for ten-year trends of the
globalization of research, scholarly information, and patents.
Specific international influences on information are examined
including the implications of the European Community internal
market for scholarly publishing and distribution, the influence of
rapid changes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union on
scholarly publishing, and scholarly information and serials in
politically turbulent Latin American countries.
