Many libraries are already making the change from individual to organizational support. Information retrieval, as part of organizational knowledge management, is becoming an integral component of the electronic workplace. In this scenario, access to information will be ubiquitous. Libraries are also moving from location-specific activities to those that are geographically dispersed. The government's computer magazine had an article in it this month about the evolution to electronic resources and publications.
Libraries continue to serve their communities well.
Cultural statistics issued by Statistics Canada demonstrate that public libraries are an increasingly important source of books. Your community has also assumed ownership of providing new and relevant public reference tools. Library staff have developed finding tools with searches driven by subjects rather than by organizational names. Information on the site provides helpful hints on how to navigate through the system. It is an excellent example of applying library know-how to a new information dissemination medium.
