- The Idea of a Library in 2001. White House Conference on Library and Information Services. Galvin, Thomas J. Access to Information Democracy Futures (of Society) Information Technology Library Role Policy Formation Technological Advancement User Needs (Information) This paper offers a framework for thinking about the "library" in the year 2001 and predicts that, although the development of new technologies will impact libraries, it will not reduce them to the status of museum artifacts. Three questions are identified as critical areas for delegates to the 1990 New York State Governor's Conference to consider: (1) Who will benefit from the new information technology and who will be left behind? (2) What is the responsibility of local, state, and Federal governments to narrow the gap between the "information haves" and the "information have notes"? and (3) How can libraries help achieve information equity and information justice for all? It is concluded that the challenge facing the delegates is to ensure that every New Yorker has access to the vast knowledge resources that are now available. (MAB)
