Download or read book Electronic Information Systems in Sci tech Libraries written by Cynthia A. Steinke and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn more about the variety of ways in which libraries extend their resources to users beyond the physical walls of their organization. Librarians discuss the concept of the library as more than just a place--since its holdings can now appear on the screen of users’computers in the same city or in a city hundreds of miles away--but rather as a force that electronically links users directly with both local and remote sources of information. Six informative chapters examine electronic information systems and document delivery from the local collection to the workplace, between system libraries and from non-library sources. Readers can look firsthand at some of the most sophisticated and widespread systems in the country, including four academic libraries that promote electronic services to remote users and two special libraries offering innovative services. The authoritative contributing authors also forecast new systems and services.
