This book explains the rapidly changing, complex flow of
information in the context of 21st-century culture, policy,
technology, and economics-an essential resource for librarians and
information specialists in all types of settings. The role of
information professionals today is to interact creatively with
clientele: to help them navigate the information infrastructure.
Shattering the concept of the library as a place, Evolving Global
Information Infrastructure and Information Transfer describes "the
library" as transformed to a dynamic virtual presence in the
information infrastructure, where people are the most important
resources in a digital library or information center-not the
collections. Instead of focusing on specific technologies, which
are always changing, this book examines the "big picture" of how
information is created, recorded, mass produced, distributed, and
utilized in society. This unique approach enables readers to better
understand how they fit into this changing world, to envision their
place in the digital age, and to assume a leadership role that
ensures the success of their clients as well as themselves. This
standout work is ideally suited for all types of librarians,
educators, information workers, members of the research community,
and policymakers in public and private sector organizations.
Presents a "big picture" understanding of the information
infrastructure in our complex, rapidly changing world Trace changes
over time in the people, organizations, policies, processes, and
technologies that comprise the information infrastructure Explores
future trends in the information infrastructure and examines the
implications for library and information professionals and for
their education
