AFTER THE CHAOS David Pearce Snyder "Libraries must purposefully promote a pro-active image of themselves ... if they are to sustain support and political clout they will need to survive and prosper as the nation makes its shift to an information economy. Otherwise, libraries will quickly become obsolete institutions and the free flow of information that has served us so well will be lost, to be replaced by a commercial information market­ place that will restrict access to those who can afford to buy that knowledge."

That was David Pearce Snyder's message to us in 1992 at OLA's first Elizabeth Ann Cummings Lecture. His words still reverberate for us. He returns five years later to assess the progress and the damage and to outline the trends and influences that will be most important to us now.

Special thanks to John Coutts Library Service and Random House Canada, Convenor: Dr. John B. Black, International Federation of partial sponsors of David Pearce Snyder. Red Cross Societies, OLA President 1996.
