"Over the past few years, there has been increasing talk of ""networking.""
This word has meant two
quite different things in library usage. First, it has
meant resource sharing, efforts to reduce the cost of duplicating facilities and
collections
through primarily interlibrary loan agreements. Second, it has
meant distribution through telecommunications of information services. The
latter sense is the more recent, but the older sense is the more
important
because the telecommunications systems now
emerging promise to allow a
new age of library cooperation. Before describing this new promise, I would
like to
present my reasons for believing the fulfillment of the promise to be
nearly ineluctable."
