Libraries in the United States and Canada are facing similar challenges to their futures. Editors Susan Cleyle and Louise McGillis have pulled together an impressive list of contributors to look at the future of the profession and answer the question: is it time to turn off the lights and call it a day? Essays challenge the reader on five different topics: the Web, library as place, pushing to the desktop, certification, and the future of associations. Contributors were asked to think outside the box and take readers to places they may not have been before thus providing both LIS students and practicing librarians with innovative ways to position themselves to serve a future society that is information hungry.
Susan Cleyle is an Associate University Librarian with Memorial University of Newfoundland. She has written and spoken on a variety of topics that will affect the profession both today and tomorrow.
Louise McGillis is an Information Services Librarian with Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial University in Corner Brook Newfoundland. Louise's expertise is in the area of user preferences and usage statistics, two areas of grave importance to the future of successful libraries.
