Librarianshipquo Vadis?

Librarians and libraries now face unprecedented challenges risks and opportunities. In his latest collection of articles and speeches White focuses on the professional issues confronting librarians at a time of increased technological options-when simple information access can be easily and directly done by end users but in which complex information access poses needs and concerns which the end user may not even recognize let alone understand. Often delivered with wit these insightful and sometimes controversial commentaries are intended to provoke serious thought discussion and ultimately action. A must read for library and information science professionals and valuable supplementary reading for students of library and information science.
