Information services are playing a pivotal role in the new age of globalisation. The rise of the network society urges us to address the cultural and institutional effects of rapid changes in the access to and exchange of information. The development of the internet and the increasing popularity of the World Wide Web have opened up a new realm of information access, storage, and delivery for librarian and information professionals. The present book elaborately discusses the rapid changes in library environment fostered by the forces of globalisatiion and information revolution. It explains the questions of access, privacy, copyright, and the protection of intellectual property, and suggests that librarians and information professionals should discuss and develop reasonable acceptable policies early in the implementation process that will allow them to effectively perform in the front lines of the digital revolution. This work will serve as a highly beneficial reference guide for librarians, teachers and students of library and information services.
