Access: who will guarantee access in an era when some one must pay for each byte of
information that is accessed? Can libraries contrive to provide free (or flat - fee) access to
all their constituents in a pay – per – view era? Will the best – seller phenomenon take
hold and make available only least common – denominator information (as in broadcast
television) will the information needs of the less affluent be met in the way that they can
afford.
