Lynch, Clifford
EDUCAUSE Review, v35 n1 p60-68 Jan-Feb 2000
Examines ways in which information technology developments have changed academic libraries over the last few decades, and speculates about further changes to come. Discusses computerizing library operations; public access; electronic formats, particularly for journal articles; and information networks, including expectations about services, allocating resources, and intellectual property rights. Offers predictions for future issues central for academic libraries. (Author/LRW)
