The Future of Libraries: What North Carolina Librarians Think

Abstract

In 2001, North Carolina Library Association President Ross Holt established a Commission on the Future of Libraries and the Book to explore the issues surrounding the future of the book given the impact of ever changing technologies, and the future of libraries as they respond to these changes. As part of this process, the NCLA Commission on the Future of Libraries and the Book conducted a Web-based survey of North Carolina librarians in August 2003 to find out what they thought about the challenges facing libraries over the next few years.
