Abstract
Lacking a crystal ball, scientists, economists, political scientists, businessmen,
educators, and other professionals are nevertheless trying to understand
and possibly to forecast future developments. Since social change is
inevitable, librarians must be ready and alert to understand, explain and
cope with change during their professional lives. The specialists invited to
the institute were asked to discuss from their own research perspectives:
( 1 ) three major causes of change government, economic conditions, and
science and technology; (2) possible results of change in three areas of vital
interest humanities (including leisure and morals), education and social
institutions; and (3) the process of change and ways to create conditions for
change. Librarian respondents were to point out various implications for
librarians of the remarks made by each of the specialists, and to be ready
with their own views on the topics if necessary.
