High-speed data communications networks are transforming the operations, services, and roles of libraries. While the installation of the physical network is often the focus of activity, the administrative and political issues are, in fact, fundamental. For libraries to participate in and influence the development of networks, building new partnerships has proven to be an effective strategy. This paper describes the use of this strategy in the development of the Utah Education Network. This participation is essential if libraries are to take full advantage of the technologies and to ensure that networks reflect the fundamental values of the profession.
高速数据通信网络正在改变图书馆的运营、服务和角色。虽然物理网络的安装通常是活动的重点，但行政和政治问题实际上才是根本。为了让图书馆参与并影响网络的发展，建立新的伙伴关系已被证明是一种有效的策略。本文描述了这一策略在犹他州教育网络发展中的应用。如果图书馆要充分利用这些技术并确保网络反映该行业的基本价值观，这种参与至关重要。
