This is a decisive time for libraries. In our constantly changing social and technological environment, libraries must adapt to fulfill their missions and satisfy their users. This pressure is acutely felt by those working with library technology. Digital services, content and tools have become a part of nearly every aspect of library operations. The "digital library" is here, and most of us work in one.
This mission of this journal is to cover "the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future." We plan to provide practical information to help the library community envision and achieve our technological future, to bring libraries' tradition of collaboration to bear on new challenges. We want the digital libraries of today to be transformed into the digital libraries of tomorrow, providing quality information while meeting new and changing needs. A course of rapid transformation has risks, but maintaining the status quo brings its own, greater, risks. Libraries must take a leading role beside their vendors in the technological innovation that effects must accompany this needed transformation.
