Tomorrow's library today

Abstract

New York's $100 million, state-of-the-art Science, Industry, and Business Library (SIBL) is the nation's premier public information center catering to science and business researchers. In fact, SIBL is more than a modern-day, interactive research institution giving unsurpassed access to information. It is a prototype for the library of the future, where hundreds of databases are at user's fingertips and the public can troll the Internet for whatever information it needs, even the day's headlines.
