While libraries continue to be one of the main research centers for individuals, businesses, and government agencies, client demands are becoming more and more sophisticated, given the changes in technology, community culture, and demographics over the last 20 years. Meeting the increased demands of library users while reducing associated operational costs, is a significant challenge during this era of funding and budget constraints.
Now more than ever, libraries need to evaluate the services they are currently providing and take a forward approach to determining what services will be demanded in the future. Bronner has a thorough understanding of the environment in which libraries operate, and can guide them in the improvement of such integral services as consulting, delivery, inter-library loan, reference, and training.
