Annotation: "Get this book. Read it. Get copies for your board, your administration, and all the other stakeholders in your library... Reach for Future Libraries when they say you don't need staff, space, or collections...that the virtual library will do it all for less...a valuable antidote to the flood of hyperbole about libraries without walls, electronic texts and virtual collections". -- Journal of Academic Libraries

"(A) joy to read...a view of a continuing future in which librarians...play an important role in providing service to people, enhancing access to knowledge and understanding, and defending key ethical concerns". -- Wilson Library Bulletin
