English abstract

While the effects of the internet on libraries was recognized relatively early, few works have addressed network dynamics in terms of library operations. This essay identifies some implications of the shift to a networked environment and its effects on library operations, with the express aim of initiating a dialog within the profession about its broader significance. Understanding this shift, with its threats and opportunities, is critical for planning the future of libraries.
