Librarians and Libraries in the 1990s: Gloom and Doom, or Fame and a Different Game.

Regan, Muriel

Special Libraries, v78 n4 p295-98 Fall 1987

Proposes that the library profession will, in the near future, divide into two tracks--the traditional librarian and the information manager. Recommendations for adapting to this change are included: (1) technological literacy; (2) career planning; (3) changes in library education; (4) accountability for information; and (5) a more positive public image.
