Reseña del editor

This volume covers the changing expectations for both the librarian and for the service user. How has the world changed, how have students changed and how can the reference library cope? The changing user is viewed in terms of particular cultural needs and also the "Generation X" factor. Topics covered are; remote access; instructional multimedia; software; courseware; networked resources; and designing custom computer applications.
