  • Images of Libraries in Science Fiction. Griffen, Agnes M. Computers Futures (of Society) Library Role Science Fiction Science fiction is used to describe four scenarios of the library of the future: completely computerized; rehumanized; post-cataclysmic, reinvented; and post-computer, mental high-tech. The future is discussed in terms of what is possible, probable, and desirable. An exercise is suggested for librarians to examine their own ideas about the future of libraries. (EM)
