Title

Internet: strategic issues for libraries and librarians : a commercial perspective

Abstract

Discusses how the growing use of the Internet will affect library services and the work of librarians. The Internet is now changing from a research and developemnt tool to a commercial enterprise and libraries will have to compete alongside other information providers for access to the information superhighway. The library will also be competing for the multifaceted form of its current existence as a custodian of knowledge, a disseminator of information and a leisure service. The cherished value of the library profession to provide information free of charge will not be viable in the new enterprise culture. The only salvation for the library will be to seek new alliances, to demonstrate leadership in demand for public resources and to engage in reengineering the profession to serve the new environment
