- 'It seems likely that the 1990s will be remembered as the
decade in which university libraries had to re-define their roles,
and indeed to refine their understanding of what they were trying
to do. '
-
- A group of distinguished librarians offer here a review of
the principal influences which are shaping contemporary university
libraries, and of the services which are now possible. Collection
development, networked access, changes in undergraduate teaching
and learning methods, campus convergence, strategic library management,
national and international co-operation, human resource management,
library design and planning, the emerging virtual library - these
and many other issues are explored in this volume of lively and
informative papers. Recommended reading for all library managers.

- 'Maybe this is not a traditional text on the management
and organization of present day university libraries, but it
is a book which offers a very personal and informed insight into
that world.... it is a volume which contains so much that I have
little doubt that the reader will return to it again and again.'
