About the Book

This book examines the dramatic transformation of libraries, publishing, and information services in the age of digital technology. Tracing the evolution of recorded knowledge from traditional libraries to modern digital information systems, it explores how advances in computing, telecommunications, electronic publishing, and the Internet have reshaped the creation, storage, dissemination, and use of information.

The book discusses the emergence of digital libraries, electronic libraries, Internet-based information services, and the growing convergence between publishing and librarianship. It highlights the impact of information technology on scholarly communication, electronic mail, electronic publishing, and end-user access to information resources. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges and opportunities facing libraries as they adapt to rapidly changing technologies and evolving user expectations in the new millennium.

A valuable resource for Library and Information Science students, researchers, librarians, information professionals, and anyone interested in the future of digital information management and electronic publishing.
