Earlier, academic libraries were having print-based reading materials comprising mainly books and periodicals. But they have experienced a significant change in their role in relation to information retrieval since the mid‑1980s when the computer was just beginning to make a major impact on how libraries provided information. This book brings the reader up to date on the relationship between academic library services and their users.
