This is an article in the Times Educational Supplement of 23/07/99
written by Secretary of State Chris Smith. In it he states that "the
introduction of new technology and the necessary new skills is driven by
the knowledge that if we do not do it now, libraries will be left
permanently behind the action".
The TES are running an Open All Hours campaign and there are a number of
articles relating to virtual libraries and effects on opening hours and
library closures. See also the issue of 16/07/99.
