Guide to library user needs assessment for integrated information resource management and collection development

"New technologies are making information more fluid, but what does this mean for information providers? Without a doubt, it means that traditional roles are evolving. The task of providing information now demands expertise in exploiting new technologies and trawling their uncharted ebbs and flows of information." "The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association, offers a host of well-integrated and forward-looking services to help you navigate through these changes. It is a leader in the development of principles, standards, and best practices for creating, collecting, organizing, delivering, and preserving information resources in all forms. It offers educational, research, and professional service opportunities. And it is committed to quality information, universal access, collaboration, and lifelong learning."--BOOK JACKET.
