About the Author
Karen Calhoun is an internationally respected librarian and change leader. Her professional experience is wide-ranging, from providing strategic leadership for university libraries at Cornell and in Pittsburgh, to writing and speaking internationally about innovation and change, to charting a future for WorldCat, the world s largest online database for discovering library resources. While her record of publication spans many topics related to the future of libraries, she is perhaps best known for "The Changing Nature of the Catalog and its Integration with Other Discovery Tools," a Library of Congress-commissioned report offering a blueprint for digital-age discovery of library collections.
Review
"Readers will want to consult this text several times for the detailed citations, informative tables, and graphics ... In this book [Calhoun] combines her extensive knowledge and research to offer an important resource for the library and archives communities to think innovatively about the role digital libraries have on society so they can be sustainable into the future." --Technical Services Quarterly
"Well-organized and timely ... a thorough examination of the past, present, and future prospects of digital libraries, and I recommend it to students, scholars, and practicing librarians." --Portal
"Because the book is packed with so many topics, it allows the reader to learn about areas that are often glossed over in the daily running of a library ... This really is a must read for those working in the digital library environment and for those who wish to explore digital library concepts further." --Online Information Review
