In this thought-provoking volume, contributing authors provide multiple lenses from different industry viewpoints to help readers understand current opportunities and challenges facing information providers and their organizations. These authors provide analysis, propose inventions, cite barriers, and target opportunities, stimulating readers to devise solutions appropriate to their personal situations. The book considers the changing face of resource sharing within the context of a rapidly exploding information landscape, and it investigates critical dimensions of network developments as they relate to access and delivery of data and "documents" in multiple media.
