- Questions for Jim
-
- Q: Who wants the TS reorganization and why?
-
- A: Materials themselves are changing; this changes
the way we think about information. How do we acquire
it, how do we describe it, and how do we provide
access to it? Much is going to be completely outside
our (Libraries') domain because of the way that
publishing is changing. Many materials are now going
directly to the Web, etc.
