"Anyone designing a long-range plan for their library will want to
read this first."

and insight so desperately needed. The long legacy of librarianship
must not be forfeited in the glaring light of the solar majesty of
technology."

will remain a core text for years to come. It is highly quotable
and very readable."

controversy among librarians and others who have been following
