| Title: | The Real Costs and Financial Challenges of Library Networking: Part 3 |
| Author(s): | Studer, William J. |

| Abstract: | The development of electronic networks is seen by some as a way to lower the high costs associated with collecting, maintaining, and storing traditional print-based library material. In reality, at least for the near future, libraries will be faced with double costs associated with the storage of dual formats. Additional costs will also result from the need to inform and train potential users. And as users are exposed to a wider variety of relevant materials held at other libraries, interlibrary loan activity will increase with resulting increased costs associated with staff time, computer equipment and support, and network use. Finally, as a result of increased networking, a structure to coordinate resources and access will have to be developed. |
