This paper considers the future library from standpoints of academic administrator and scholar. As the former, what will be the cost of the new services? The latter sees a knowledge explosion occurring in own lifetime. Humanists are still not adjusted to the new environment. In terms of technological revolution many parts of the library are still unchanged. Librarians must help them stay informed about new developments in their respective disciplines and teach them new technologies to access material.
