English abstract

The author uses the report of Thomas Mann for a discussion about different views of the future of librarianship: the traditional model of the librarian focusing on the intricacies of the library's local collection, as shown by Mr. Mann, and a more adaptive model, preferred by the author, that includes resources on the Internet as a part of a library's collection that are just as important as a library's physical holdings. Such a conclusion has several consequences, and the author discusses each.
