Title

Interpreters as well as gatherers : the librarian of tomorrow ... today

Special libraries. 86(1995) no.3, S.195-204

Abstract

The advent of digitization has profound implications for the information society as it rapidly changes the means of communicating. The broader implications of this transformation are responsible for the dramatic reinvention of businesses, organizations, governments, and entire cultures. Librarians and information professionals are grappling with these issues at a macro level, while current challenges posed by the issue of copyright illustrate further change taking place in their work. The way that knowledge is created is changing radically: as a result, a new role for the librarian is being forged (along with new opportunities); one that is more profound, requiring an understanding of the context in which information exists
