This title looks at the issues facing libraries in light of the dilemmas posed as a result of the globalising information economy. In particular the book looks at the following issues: how to locate, acquire, present and manage information intimes of escalating serials subscriptions and limits on library budgets; how to manage print versus electronic formats; how to make available data sets and audio-visual data; how to attract users to the library itself in a physical or virtual sense; coping with information overkill and the ethical and legal dilemmas posed by the Internet; how to best apply digital technologies; how best to teach users to exploit and evaluate the "new library"; and how to maintain specialist subject skills in the face of trends towards the "generalist librarian". As well as looking at problems and changes, it proposes relevant and viable solutions.
