Review:
"Crawford and Gorman have sounded the call for a balance of effort and insight so desperately needed. The long legacy of librarianship must not be forfeited in the glaring light of the solar majesty of technology."
"This is an important, timely work that should excite debate and controversy among librarians and others who have been following some of the issues raised by Gorman and Crawford."
"Anyone designing a long-range plan for their library will want to read this first."
"This is an excellent book written by experts in their field and will remain a core text for years to come. It is highly quotable and very readable."
