Description

Explore the complex relationship between libraries and information brokers in this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1988, this volume examines how the rise of information brokering since the 1960s has changed the role of libraries in society. This book provides a balanced look at the tension between these two fields. Librarians address specific concerns regarding the impact of brokers on reference services, the competence of these professionals, and the potential for brokers to use library services for their own gain. The text also explores whether libraries should offer competing fee-based services. To provide a complete perspective, the book includes the views of brokers themselves. They describe their work as entrepreneurs, offering background on their industry and explaining their role in the information landscape. This is an essential resource for students and professionals studying library and information science.
