Description
As the digital world gains further traction in information services provided by public restitutions to their communities (1), evidence continues to emerge with regard to the realities of convergences between traditional library information services and practices (2) , emerging and changing technologies in the management of knowledge, (3) and the need to bring information closer to the community through new technologies (4) and multipurpose venues. (5) At the same time, in all sectors of information and knowledge management, much is made of 'the policy vacuum against a background of uncertainty' (6), the lag in government resources to deal with changing times (7), and the ensuing need to more closely articulate or position library services within economic priorities and knowledge economies. (8) The literature on digitisation generally indicates a growing concern across the information profession about a range of issues in a range of contexts and situations along the local-national-global knowledge and information axis. These include the need for consistent standards and protocols in digital repositories across public institutions (9) and discussions between the role of digital libraries and archives (l0) intellectual property (11) and copyrights issues (12), digital rights management (13), knowledge webs (14), knowledge banks (15), digital libraries (16), changing technologies and more.
