Abstract:
Library service is a busy, user-oriented activity, with a deep-rooted
emphasis on means rather than ends, on tactics rather than strategy, on
building collections rather than on the roles those collections play. This
has been reflected by many renewed critics in their professional
literature on practical and technical matters. In this paper the authors try
to emphasise major changes that are likely to take place and a need for
recognition regarding convergence between library, computing , and
telecommunications services; of probable changes in the publishing world,
and library management using new tools and techniques.
