This review was forwarded to the list by Larry Cruse.  Has anyone read the
book?  Where to they put maps, or digital spatial data.  Do they have maps
in the library of the future????-------------------Johnnie

Do you have "technolust" in your heart?
 
Maybe you need a cold shower and this book: "Future Libraries: Dreams,
Madness & Reality," by Walt Crawford and Michael Gorman (ALA Editions, 1995).
The authors dispell the myth that libraries will become totally digital any
time soon. They cut through the hype about the virtual library and think
through what kinds of materials should be digitized, and what should be left
on paper.
 
Highly recommended by this Internet junkie. (Note: I am not a sales rep for
ALA.)
