商品簡介
Bridges, a librarian at the U. of Vermont, considers current challenges that libraries face in terms of technology and the Internet. He details the history of networking and connectivity from the development of the telegraph to the rise of digital technology and its influence on the roles of today's information professionals, then discusses security issues such as disasters, cyber threats, and privacy. He also discusses how libraries can develop new models for services using Web 2.0, whether printed books will become extinct, and how the future of libraries depends on adaptation and flexibility and the use of modern technology in the face of changing legal and economic environments.
