Abstract

The Finnish Council for Scientific Information and Research Libraries funded a Delphi study to predict the extent of use of information technology in the years 1996 and 2010. A panel of Finnish experts was interviewed in two consecutive sessions. As a comparison group eleven international experts were also interviewed. The paper includes a tabular summary of the predictions and estimations given by both groups of experts.
