Unique attributes
New Library World provides an international appraisal of current library trends and emerging patterns for the future.

How libraries are run in the future will be determined by many social, cultural, technological and economic trends. New Library World presents lively, topical contributions by academics and practitioners which examine the changing role of the library and the impact external factors have on its future role and development – an essential companion for librarians and information managers.
Key benefits
International concerns within the profession are addressed in the journal, so that librarians can see trends emerging and discover imaginative ways of resolving difficulties in areas such as shrinking financial resources and the impact of the electronic age. The journal also looks at alternative structures for an established institution.
