Networks and CD-ROMs Aid Research, Development and Education in Zimbabwe

As librarians we should be at the forefront of this new and ever- changing technology, ready and able to provide our patrons with information that will help them decide which videodisc to buy or use, which software can get them the multimedia result they desire, where to find additional help and support on the Internet, etc. This is the Information Age and librarians have always been information providers. It is now time for us to take our profession seriously, to establish ourselves as the pioneers and, more importantly, as leaders of information technology! Lynn Lyndes is a school librarian in a small K-12 district in upstate New York.
