(Roy James), 1947- author. 65484 Information technology & libraries : a future for academic libraries / Roy J. Adams. Information technology and libraries Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2024. 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier textual sapdv EBSCOhost Routledge revivals Originally published: London: Croom Helm, 1986. Includes bibliographical references. First published in 1986, Information Technology & Libraries explores some of the issues, problems, and opportunities presented to librarians with the development of information technology. Charting the development of information technology in libraries in a historical context, the book examines the possible changes in the way society will operate and the effects on the higher education system as a background to library service. It discusses the external networks bringing in data from institution to use and the local networks which will distribute and add to the data. These will change the way libraries operate and the mechanisms employed by members of the institution to gather and analyse information. The volume, therefore, looks forward to the future of the library and the attendant effects on users, structures, management, and staff. It highlights the key issues for the library manager, and the requirements for library staff education, training, and skills. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of library & information science, library skills and education.
