This document examines the roles, issues, and needs of Iowa libraries in the age of the electronic information highway based on the responses of library practitioners to a request from the State Library of Iowa to briefly address these concerns. The report begins with brief discussions of traditional library services; electronic library services; new functions of libraries in the age of information networks; and issues involved in this technological advancement. Next, the impact of the new electronic revolution on academic, public, school, and special libraries is examined. For each type of library, the following information is presented: a definition of the library type; the status of the library in Iowa; issues and challenges for these libraries; and the impact of technology on the library. The report concludes with four objectives of Iowa's connected libraries: (1) to open the electronic door connecting customers to the information highway; (2) to create and maintain electronic resources as well as access to remote resources; (3) to teach customers how to access and use the ever-changing array of available resources; and (4) to continue to meet the growing demand for traditional library services.
