Extract

Much is made of the way in which technology has transformed libraries – as indeed it has; but not out of all recognition and not particularly markedly as yet in the case of art libraries. We still seem to have a fewbooks around; we may be becoming acutely aware of the perils of the e-journal but most of us haven’t actually got many of them yet; I suspect that we talk more about digitisation than we digitise; and many of the materials which are specific to art libraries are likely to be well back in the queue for transformation.
