Public Libraries and New Media: A Review and References.

Compiled to describe the current state of new media activities in the public library, this annotated bibliography lists: (1) sources for readers seeking further information, (2) media associations and organizations, and (3) data about selected periodicals and nonprint productions in the area of audiovisual operations and innovations. The media chosen for coverage are: film (8mm and 16mm), television (cable, cassette, and some broadcast), and audio (cassettes, records, reel-to-reel tape, and some radio broadcasting). The final section discusses probable future media emphases in public libraries. Each section is composed of a narrative review followed by appropriate references related to that section. (Author/DS)
