and Publisher

Dancing with Change

Broadcast February 19, 1999

Libraries, whether academic, public, or school, are greatly expanding their capacities to develop and distribute networked information.This teleconference explores the issue of whether libraries should become competitors of, or creative partners of, traditional commercial publishers. Topics include resurrecting a library heritage by creating new information resources, public libraries and networked information, the role of the public library in distance education, and new models of academic publishing and the academic library.
