The Shape of Libraries to Come

Abstract

Discusses the problems and opportunities for researchers of access to electronic databases in an interview arising from a series of online “surgeries” at the British Library. Considers the problems of information overload and the effects of online provision in relation to traditional publishing. Also considers the economics for libraries, users and publishers of online research.
