The "Soaring to Excellence" series provides information and training to library support staff nationwide. Sponsored by the Library Development Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. SUMMARY: What does the future hold for libraries and the printed word? In an electronic age, what will happen to reading and literacy? Are libraries becoming anachronistic? How must libraries and library workers redefine themselves in this age of technology? As we try to "fit in" with technology, where do para-professionals, library technical assistants and librarians fit in? Join us as we delve into this topic that concerns all of us...the future of libraries, and our roles in it.
