"I recommend this book as a way to review your views on what is and is not fundamental to libraries, and to explore how you balance the incorporation of the important issues into both your personal and professional life." "Gorman's book will be read by many, and not a few will read it approvingly. ... At the close of the day, however, neither book will be remembered for long. That is because we are as guilty of our pleasure in technology as Macbeth is in his consort with murder." "Gorman continues to advocate core library values, previously expressed and published in his last book Our Enduring Values: Librarianship in the 21st Century ... The result is not only a handbook for incorporating new technologies into traditional library activities ... but also a mental health guide for library professionals in dealing with the information overload prevalent in today's society." "The book has my strongest recommendation. It is a must read for anyone wanting to keep up with the current debates surrounding libraries--how we are to understand them and what is to become of them."
Librarians are experts at selecting, evaluating, and disseminating the best content in the most appropriate format to meet the needs of library users. And, new technologies can be invaluable tools in these efforts. Taking advantage of these technologies does not, however, change the fundamental mission of libraries everywhere. In this thought-provoking work, one of the library world's leading thinkers discusses the transformative effect communications technology has had on information delivery from past to present to future. By tracing the transformations, Gorman writes a roadmap for achieving balance between the tradition of library service and ever-changing technology. Exploring both opportunities and perils, Gorman points the way to: Integrating technology into long- and short-term goals Rethinking reference work, to direct users to the highest quality sources available Revamping cataloging through technology to improve user access Reinvigorating the library's role in promoting literacy Relieving techno-stress to achieve peace of mind, harmony, and stabilityFor those willing to accept the challenges and opportunities that present themselves to librarians all around the world, this manifesto will help you strike a balance between the ideas of technology dominance and the tradition preservation.
