- The Philosophy of Local Studies in the Interactive Age Reid, Peter H. Macafee, Caroline Investigations Lifelong Learning Internet Local Issues Educational Philosophy Library Services Library Administration Library Development Library Automation Library Materials Access to Information Information Seeking User Needs (Information) Influence of Technology The authors examine strategic priorities for local studies libraries in the context of the interactive Web. They examine the implications for access, investigations and the needs of different users. The philosophy that has previously guided local studies is articulated as a number of maxims, taking into account also social inclusion and lifelong learning. These maxims are then re-assessed and added to in the light of issues such as the acquisition of digital media objects, mass amateurisation, profiling remote users and balancing their needs with those of local taxpayers, digital service provision and creating and maintaining an effective online presence.
