Review by Booklist Review

This collection of papers and essays, some of which date back to the early 1960s, covers an astounding array of library technology issues and should become a standard source on the subject. De Gennaro has been called ``librarianship's leading synthesist,'' and there is plenty of evidence of that title here, as he examines the concerns and consequences of technology in different information settings through the years. Papers are divided into major subdivisions such as ``Libraries and the Information Marketplace,'' ``Managing the Library in Transition,'' and ``Library Technology and Networking.'' An accessible and important companion for all professionals. Index. PRD. 025'.02 Information services / Library science Technological innovations / Library science Data processing / Libraries Automation / Library information networks [CIP] 87-7568
