Future Libraries: Dreams, Madness and Reality

Crawford & Gorman's book has been nothing but aninspiration to me. I am an LIS graduate studentand these two librarians are heroes.They utterly DEMOLISH the feasiblity/desirabilityof "All digital libraries" and make solid arguementsfor real, existing libraries.These guys simply just ROCK.Read William F. Birdsall also, to get a Cannuckperspective on the same issue.I dislike Crawford's non-sequitors about"socialism" but beyond that, everyprogressive librarian should read themLONG LIVE LIBRARIANSHIP!

What they didn't teach you in school. Clear thoughs on the future of libraries, rather than hype and blue sky. If you only read one book on libraries, read this one or his newest, Being Analog. If you haven't read either, you are not well informed on the subject. Hint: Professors from Schools of Information Science hate them.
