There is much in this book that is not new news. Keeping up with the issues of the Internet and libraries isn't something most librarians haven't already spent time considering. There are some interesting applications of theories in the final chapter, but the future of libraries is much more than being flexible and implementing or understanding these approaches. Not recommended.

A wonderful collection of works for those of us who have read our way through much of the canon. Lesser known novels by well known writers, obscure but first rate novels by authors unknown to us, science fiction, mysteries, romances, westerns. I'm going to read my way through the novels at the rate of one a week over the next two years.
