Via Educational Technology, come a link to what looks like a comprehensive survey report, 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition, from the OCLC Online Computer Library Center (a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization based in Dublin, Ohio):
The 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition report was produced for OCLC’s worldwide membership to examine the significant issues and trends impacting OCLC, libraries, museums, archives and other allied organizations, both now and in the future. The scan provides a high-level view of the information landscape, intended both to inform and stimulate discussion about future strategic directions.
