  • A good volume to lay the foundations of how the preconceptions of existing library practice ought to be challenges, and should be considered by all library practitioners.
    —The Journal of Academic Librarianship     November 2002
  • ...useful to researchers because of its theoretical nature and extensive bibliographies. Books such as this one that give an overview of the Internet's impact on libraries and include essays written by researchers, as well as practitioners, are especially important for all library and information science collections.
    —Association of College & Research Libraries     September 2002
Description: The Internet has had a profound impact on society in general and on the field of library and information science in particular. Since 1990, scholars and librarians have striven to utilize various Internet technologies to improve library and information services. Since that time, the literature on the Internet and its impact on and role in libraries and research has exploded. A simple keyword search in Library Literature and Information Index, a primary electronic index of library and information science research literature, retrieves over 6,500 items related to the Internet. The dominance of the Internet not only provides great opportunities for libraries to provide better services, but also poses tremendous challenges to librarians and library and information science scholars. This volume includes discussions of current issues and trends, written by scholars and practitioners in the fields of library and information science, computer science, and computer engineering.
