Question #5
Indexes and abstracts (A&I services) and library catalogs provide bibliographic information that describes books, articles, and other information sources. This bibliographic information servers as a surrogate for the original object. Increasingly, library users want the full texts of items in digital form, rather than just a bibliographic surrogate. Describe various ways libraries are providing more digital full texts to their patrons. What are some of the impacts on libraries and librarians?
