Abstract:

Sarah Ormes, the UKOLN Public Libraries Focus is taking a short career break. Sarah has been with UKOLN for five years, which makes her positively antidiluvian in terms of web years. During that time both her role and her activities have expanded. Among other things Sarah was instrumental in the setting up of the hugely popular children's web site 'Stories from the Web', and in the last two years has run a very successful conference on Web Management issues for Public Librarians. Her column in this issue 'Lights Out, Silver Boots On' contains a selection of well-informed predictions about the next five years of wired Public Libraries. None of them seem likely to be wide of the mark, but of course time will tell. Ariadne and UKOLN wish her well in her future, and we hope to feature more articles by her in due course.

Note: Philip Hunter opens the box and looks at some of the choicest pieces.
