Librarians of the future will need to see themselves in new roles, and will require wide-ranging training in order to become new style information experts. This incisive text, supported by an extensive glossary and bibliography, proposes a practical agenda of issues for the information profession to tackle in the opening years of the twenty-first century, and is essential reading for both established practitioners and LIS students, as well as for library managers and administrators across all sectors.
