Abstract

The world of information technology is changing faster than most of us can monitor. The information explosion has created the necessity for people to harness electronic technologies to wade through the maze and 'cull' out just what is needed. Explores a vision of information technology in the not-too-distant future, as well as some of the technologies emerging today. Some of today's 'virtual libraries' will also be profiled
