Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Libraries and Their Role in the Information Infrastructure: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Education, Arts and Humanities of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session on Examine the Role of Libraries in Developing America´s New Information Infra The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:08 a.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Paul Simon (member of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Simon and Wellstone. Opening Statement of Senator Simon Senator Simon. The subcommittee will come to order. I am pleased to be chairing this hearing during National Library Week. Today´s hearing will focus on libraries and the information superhighway. Although I still use a vintage Royal manual typewriter, I doubt if my granddaughters ever will. They will grow up using modems, internet, worldwide web systems, and cd-roms. Their use of the technology will be second nature. Yet, if in creating the superhighway we do not include public libraries as an integral vital part at the start, the superhighway will bypass and shut out many of our citizens. We will have created the information haves and have nots. The superhighway should not be linear freeway, but a series of interconnected wagon wheels. At the center of the spokes would be libraries and at the outside are schools, businesses, homes, community centers, hospitals, and so on. Libraries can provide such things as access, education and training, navigation, archiving, and cataloging of information on the superhighway in a unique way. The witnesses before us today will show us what libraries are doing and what they could be doing. I look forward to their testimony. Our hearing room looks a little different than usual this morning, with all the paraphernalia that we have here. We are holding a hearing on trying to determine how libraries, which contribute so much to our society, fit into this new superhighway that we are hearing about. It is a different world today for libraries than it was when I first walked into a library as a young boy and went through that card catalog. It will be even more different 10 and 20 years from now, than it is today. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
