On the Cutting Edge of Change: The Community College Library/Learning Resource Center.
Giles, Louise
Community college libraries tend to be the pace setters for change in libraries. As the new media have been introduced into libraries, ways have been found to integrate them into the library to create multimedia resource collections. In addition to traditional library services, instructional design, materials production, computer operation, printing services, bookstores, learning labs, and information networks are possible future library responsibilities. New guidelines for library staff and facilities are emerging, in keeping with new trends of library service. Future trends may include: wider availability of computer output microfilm; wider community use through lifetime learning and college-without-walls programs; increased telecommunications and television use; more involvement in communication networks; and metamorphosis of the library into a campus-wide educational resources system.
