This is a collection of essays in which the authors address the future of libraries from disparate perspectives. Some present theses in the context of the library's historical role; some concentrate on technological innovation with all its challenges and opportunities; and others focus on prior research. All, however, question the changing role of library and information professionals, the social mission of the library, the flow of information through society, the economics of information, and the requirements for user education and training.
