From the 7/15/2003 Library Journal: “As government documents librarians incorporate more digital materials, they are finding that the very shape of their libraries is transformed,” by Marylaine Block.
“Like other documents librarians, Carolyn Kohler (government publications librarian at the University of Iowa) has found herself unexpectedly at the forefront of technological change and momentous political issues: the public’s right to know vs. legitimate security concerns; public accountability for government actions vs. government secrecy; permanent public access vs. instantaneous (but maybe temporary) electronic access.”
