Libraries of the Future.
Licklider, J. C. R.
This book is the final report of a two year research project. It offers a thorough discussion of the potentialities and limitations of computers for library application. A general treatment is presented of the whole library as it may be in the future. Emphasis is given to the usefulness of the computer as a device for ease of transmission of knowledge, for speed, and for allowing independence of work. A summary of the project's research on the use of computers in specialized library functions is included. (FS)
