Musings, Meanderings, and Monsters, Too
Scarecrow Press (Verlag)
978-0-8108-4767-5 (ISBN)
Will the library of the future be "bookless"? Will reference librarians disappear? Will information continue to double every few years?
These are but some of the issues tackled by a group of curious librarians. Perhaps, like them, you too are troubled by the swift current of changes flowing through your institution. Unleashed by the erudite Martin Raish, contributors were asked to write about whatever was uppermost on their minds about today's academic libraries and librarians. The result is a constellation of opinion, expressed with intelligence, poignancy, and wit.
Martin Raish is Chair of the Department of Library Instruction and Information Literacy, Brigham Young University. In the past he served as a reference librarian and bibliographer and also as a coordinator for library instruction.
