ABSTRACT

SUMMARY. A digital library must focus on access and service, not buildings and volumes. Libraries will support users in their searching and acquiring of information, and their organization will reflect services rather than physical location. Technology, law and economics are all becoming more important for libraries, requiring new expertise in library staff. Perhaps the most important issues for the long term will be the ability of libraries to cooperate in the delivery of new services.
