Ten years in the lifetime of an astronomy library may not be much, but the past decade brought many changes, and it may be worthwhile to pause for a moment and look back. Ten years ago, we spent most of our time doing paper work, dealing with incoming invoices and processing new books. Our tasks centred on the publications physically located in the libraries. Today, the physical library sites have decreased in importance, and the virtual library is about to take their place. The Internet has become the essential tool to retrieve information and provide rapid service to our users. Instead of making publications available in the library, it has become more important to provide access through the library so that astronomers can reach them conveniently from their desktops.
