Abstract:
Over the course of the past ten years, Central- and Eastern-European Countries have seen
significant changes in virtually all sectors of society. Higher education has been transformed,
bringing western philosophies to the discussion table and introducing technology into areas once
devoid of this medium. University libraries have also undergone fundamental philosophical and
organizational changes while integrating and utilizing technology to perform many of the
functions that were once labor intensive. In this paper, I would like to provide a brief analysis of
the overall progress that has been made so far in regard to technological integration within
C&EE university libraries and then present possible scenarios and models for technology and
information infrastructure development for C&EE universities moving into the 21st century.
