Abstract
Discusses papers presented at the IFLA's 1994 Conference which dealt with new library technologies and library co-operation, and the university libraries' subsection which was found to be relevant to the Caribbean. Internationally, universities face common problems. The most pressing are the direct results of spiralling costs combined with an increasing volume of information and the growing needs and expectations of users. Presents recommendations made at the Conference relating to a review of university policies, the management of intellectual property, electronic access to information, library twinning and personnel exchange programmes, and considers these recommendations in the light of recent developments at The University of the West Indies libraries and the wider Caribbean in general.
