CALL FOR CHAPTERS
WORLD LIBRARIES ON THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.
Patricia Diamond Fletcher and John Carlo Bertot, eds.
Idea Group Publishing
The global economy and the Internet are creating an international
perspective on information gathering and use. Libraries are a key
organization in guiding this transition to a global information
environment. The goal of this edited book is to present an international
picture of the response by libraries to the electronic networked
environment in general and the Internet and the World Wide Web in
particular. Public, academic, school, business, and other special
libraries will be the subject of the discourse. Current research on the
effectiveness of library networks and on the direction for libraries in a
networked environment will be presented to share library best practices,
policy, and services.
Chapter submissions on the following topics are encouraged:
… Internet-based services in libraries (of any type)
… US
… Canada
… South America
… Europe
… Asia
… Africa
… Australia
… Other
… Best practice examples of libraries using the Internet for service(s)
provision
… Technical concerns for libraries using Internet-based services
