This book takes you through the principles of eight core values as it considers the questions on the minds of most librarians today, including: what is the role of the library today?; what is librarianship in the 21st century?; what do patrons and communities want from their libraries?; will libraries be strengthened or destroyed by new and changing technology?; and how can I maintain the core values of librarianship into the future?
