The ongoing information revolution has imparted a new dimension to library and information sciences. Techniques and technologies in the area have been drawn from the electronic and telecommunication phenomena of the present age. The materials comprising readings in library and information science have been brought together in the present publication with a view to profile the essential features of a modern multi-media library. The print media and non-print information call for a resource-sharing, technology-oriented approach to the techniques and technologies available to librarians and media-centre managers for the constant upgradation and optimisation of their information centres. The present collection attempts to provide the on-line librarian with the basic profiles in resources and optimization, library informatics and networking and cataloguiging for multimedia libraries and information centres. It is hoped that the volumes will together constitute a valuable addition to the current and anticipated literature in the field.
