Here is an outstanding critical analysis of the impact groundbreaking technologies, both new and established, have had on resource sharing in the information industry. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the possibilities of resource sharing in the electronic information age, beyond the narrow scope of interlibrary loan. This highly selective book not only assesses the technologies that have had a profound impact on resource sharing, it also considers the political, philosophical, social, financial, legal, managerial, and attitudinal issues they have affected. Technologies that hold great promise for revolutionizing interlibrary cooperation on various levels have been included in this important analysis. Impact of Technology on Resource Sharing fosters an in-depth understanding of these technologies by including chapters that range from descriptive analyses of particular projects to philosophical discussions of the challenges of change. It questions traditional assumptions while providing an opportunity to examine the practical technological options available to libraries today and in the near future. This thought-provoking book introduces beginning level library professionals to the changes technological innovations have caused in resource sharing. For more advanced professionals, it is a valuable review of several areas of technology and resource sharing including: CD-ROM union catalogs collection analysis using the OCLC/AMIGOS CD local integrated systems national bibliographic databases/utilities large-scale system interconnection Z39.50 Internet/NREN networking high schools political/social impediments to resource sharing financial issues of resource sharing history of library networking Public service, technical service, and systems librarians will gain a better understanding of technical issues in language that is easy to understand. Library administrators will benefit from the review of issues important to the management and decision making process for the future of interlibrary cooperation and sharing.

Visionary thinkers reflect on key aspects of the contemporary information landscape in Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century. In this thought-provoking volume, contributing authors provide multiple lenses from different industry viewpoints to help readers understand current opportunities and challenges facing information providers and their organizations. These authors provide analysis, propose inventions, cite barriers, and target opportunities, stimulating readers to devise solutions appropriate to their personal situations. The book considers the changing face of resource sharing within the context of a rapidly exploding information landscape, and it investigates critical dimensions of network developments as they relate to access and delivery of data and “documents” in multiple media. It helps readers understand the escalating changes which are irrevocably altering their professional environment and information access choices. Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century is divided into three sections. Contextual Viewpoints sets the stage for considering the subject. Converging Technologies discusses converging computing and telecommunications technologies which promise to transform information systems as they are known today. Musts, Can?ts, and Myths investigates implications of today?s emerging trends for information professionals’futures. Topics addressed in individual chapters include: an examination of the library environment and the work of librarians in the emerging digital world models of strategic issue analysis and their applicability to past, present, and future issues related to library networking the effect of multimedia technology on sharing of resources, and issues and barriers associated with multimedia sci-tech information resources and information networks in Western Europe the future of bibliographic utilities the future of digital collections Networks and Resource Sharing in the 21st Century provides a much-needed context to aid readers as they shape the resource sharing environment of tomorrow. It is a stimulating guide for practicing librarians, MLS students, and network staff as they strive to make libraries and information centers a vital part of the future.

This book, first published in 1995, addresses the key issue facing libraries on how to survive in an age of interdependence. Increasingly, individual libraries must act as if each is part of a ‘world library’ Instead of being self-sufficient, each library, from the small public library to the large research library, must find ways to put materials from this ‘world library’ into the hands of its patrons and must stand ready to supply materials from its own collection to others, both quickly and cost-effectively through interlibrary loan. It explores the critical questions for making resource-sharing work, with particular emphasis on interlibrary loan. Cooperative collection development, economic decision models, consortial arrangements, copyright dilemmas, and the possibilities of technology are explored and a national project to revamp interlibrary loan and document delivery is described and future directions posited. Authors present historical perspective, explore the future, and report from multiple perspectives.

This book focuses on the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on organizations and society as a whole. Specifically, it examines how such technologies improve our lives and facilitate our work. A main aspect explored is how actors understand the potential of ICTs to support organizational activities and hence, how they adopt and adapt these technologies to achieve their goals. The book collects papers on various areas of organizational strategy, e.g. new business models, competitive strategies, knowledge management and more. The main areas dealt with are new technologies for a better life, innovations for e-government, and technologies enhancing enterprise modeling. In addition, the book addresses how organizations impact society through sustainable development and social responsibility, and how ICTs employ social media networks in the process of value co-creation.

In this thesis, a framework is developed to investigate the effect of resource sharing on the performance of genetic networks. A model of a genetic system with shared resources for protein degradation is developed that captures resource sharing effects and is subsequently analyzed to discover ways in which this form of resource sharing effects genetic networks. It is shown that sharing of degradation resources may cancel undesirable effects due to resource sharing of protein production resources. Next, a theoretical framework is developed to find conditions in which a genetic network may exhibit a change in its number of equilibria due to resource sharing effects. Finally, metrics and an experimental method are proposed to estimate the quantity of resources a genetic network uses and the sensitivity of the network to disturbances in resource availability. These measures may be utilized to inform design choices in genetic networks in which resource sharing plays a significant role. These effects become increasingly important in more complex genetic networks. Quantification of such resource sharing effects are an important step in increasing the predictability of genetic networks.
