内容简介：
As your profession is warp-speeding through cyberspace, a new breed of information specialists -- call them cybrarians -- are setting the pace, and you can't afford to be left behind.That's why ALA Editions commissioned leading Cybrarian Pat Ensor to compile the best of the breed in The Cybrarian's Manual, a browsable compendium of knowledge for 21st-century-ready librarians. Nothing packs so much savvy from so many wired librarians into one handbook of electronic-age know-how for library professionals.In clear, accessible language, contributors deliver an encyclopedic array of key background, practical information, enlightening lists, intriguing facts and figures -- everything from OPACs to SGML and beyond. Sixteen chapters cover topics such as platforms for Internet access, a cybrarian's tool kit, client/server architecture, HTML basics and multimedia, network standards, technology leaders and consultants, and intellectual freedom in cyberspace.The Cybrarian's Manual will be supplemented and updated at Cyberlib.net (http: //www. ala.org/editions/cyberlib.net).
