Visions for the Twenty-First Century Are 
Okay but What Will We Do for the Rest of 
the Century?" The library staff developed 
Library 2000 goals, described as: increased 
amount of information available through 
the campus network; all forms of informa­
tion delivered to the workstation or PC; 
faculty productivity increased; informa­
tion resources productivity increased; 
personalized information systems cre­
ated; human/information system interac­
tion studied; rich learning environment 
for students created; every Tech graduate 
information literate. Her finishing touch 
was appropriately pointed: "While we 
look forward we will look backward to in­
crease and intensify our efforts to preserve 
our knowledge, history, and culture." 

The proceedings offer a wealth of infor­
mation on the status of online public ac-

cess catalogs and other related automation 
issues, including projections into the fu­
ture. With representatives from France, 
the United Kingdom, and the United 
States, a larger perspective of the current 
state of library automation, chiefly that of 
the OPAC1 is in store for the reader. Ami­
nor irritation is the continual use through­
out of acronyms. However, the authors do 
not fall into highly technical jargon as one 
might expect, but instead present a clear 
picture of the international scene. As 
stated in the preface: "The papers...re­
veal diversity of technological applica­
tions, a spectrum of private, academic, 
and governmental enterprises, and a vari­
ety of access methods and systems for use 
with library materials and other informa­
tion resources. II-Kathleen Sparkman, Bay­
lor University Libraries, Waco, Texas.
