Issues facing learned libraries
Abstract
The London Science Centre communicates with some 560 learned societies. Nearly all have libraries, archives and collections of various kinds, forming individually, as well as together, unique collections of special value to mankind in scholarship and learning. The size of library varies from a few shelves, perhaps in a university library, to a fully international information service making maximum use of information technology. During recent years librarians and library committees of societies have seen and are seeing a period of great change brought about partly through the ‘explosion’ of information technology, and partly through changing values and attitudes.
