Today's library must be more than a structure housing a collection and waiting for customers to appear. There are simply too many competitors that patrons may find more convenient for locating information and leisure activities. In order to gain a competitive edge that makes public libraries resonate within its community, today's library staff must rethink the way they provide services and access to their collections.
Joseph R. Matthews is a consultant who has assisted numerous academic, public, and special libraries in a wide variety of projects.
