- Without doubt the most important influences upon the recent
development of library services have been information technology
and the financial restraints resulting from economic trends.
This contemporary review of the consequences for public libraries
of these and other shaping influences explores the ways in which
the library may exploit its strengths. Highly readable papers
on inter-library comparisons, stock management, privatisation,
marketing techniques, performance measures, innovatory services,
and the prospects offered to the public library by the new technology,
make up a volume which provides perspective for public librarians,
as well as for all concerned with the development of libraries
in general.
