Abstract

Describes proposed USA legislation and administrative initiatives which aim to build a National Information Infrastructure and thus radically restructure the supporting mechanism for libraries. Details legislative initiatives, the proposed National Technology Initiative, components of the proposed roles for agencies and their involvement in the National Information Infrastructure. Warns that libraries are not longer seen as important cultural institutions but that their role and funding will be judged according to contribution to the national economic welfare
