This review is from: Being Analog: Creating Tomorrow's Libraries (Paperback)
Crawford builds on themes from his earlier work, reiterating that libraries cannot be only digital and that the human element will always be a necessary part of the library. He sees technology as providing tools to help librarians find answers rather than being the answer in itself. This book does not present new information. However, it does offer a comprehensive look at issues which are important to today's libraries and those of the future. Practicing librarians should read it, as it will certainly make them think about what they will need to do in order to help their library remain viable in the new century.

This review is from: Being Analog: Creating Tomorrow's Libraries (Paperback)
This book is Walt Crawford's follow-up book to
his co-authored book with Michael Gorman...solo
this time, _Being Analog_ is a play-on-words with
Negroponte's _Being Digital_.

He keeps fighting the good fight for traditional
(real,existing) libraries versus the pipe dreams
of "virtual libraries" ("libraries without walls").

read also Gorman's _OUR ENDURING VALUES: Librarianship in the
21st Century_

ROCK AND ROLL!
