Inhaltsangabe

Tap into the insights of one of the world's leading library visionaries. Stephen Abram has the knack for seeing and expressing the obvious long before most people become aware of the issue. Although he's one of the most prolific writers and speakers in the industry, this is the first time his writings are being collected in one volume. Addressing the many audiences within the library profession - public, school, and special libraries, vendors, corporate librarians, and technology specialists - Abram offers a clear-sighted overview of the complexities of the information landscape in the 21st century. To organize the multitude of his writings and audiences, articles are collected under four key themes of Advocacy, Technology, Communities and Generations, and The Future. Complete with extensive bibliography of Abram's works and recommended reading list, this paradigm-shifting volume gives perspective on the future of the library profession, challenges preconceptions, and helps librarians stay ahead of the learning curve.
