Abstract
- This paper describes the libraries devotion of their resources to access management. When libraries began buying electronic resources, they joined publishers and information scientists on the technology train, an express that generates its own momentum. First, libraries bought current subscriptions to electronic journals. Libraries also have been willing to buy expensive products even though they are seriously flawed. One of the most basic impacts of electronic publishing has been the stimulation of the belief that libraries must transform themselves and take on new roles. A few years ago library leaders talked about the challenges of maintaining the hybrid print/digital library. The balance has shifted perceptibly to the idea that the good library is the electronic library.
