| BOOKGLOBALISATION, INFORMATION AND LIBRARIES:the implications of the World Trade Organisation's GATS and TRIPS Agreements by RUTH RIKOWSKI, Chandos Publishers, Oxford, 2005 ISBN - 1 84334 084 4 (£39.00) (pbk)1 84334 092 5 (£59.95) (hdbk) This book provides an overview of the World Trade Organisation; in particular, it focuses on two of the agreements being developed at the WTO, which are due to be strengthened in 2005, and are likely to have significant implications for libraries and information: the General Agreement on Trade in Services (the GATS) and the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The book argues that the library and information profession needs to be more aware of these agreements and the way in which they threaten some of the professional ethics and principles (such as the balance in copyright). Furthermore, it places the GATS and TRIPS into an Open Marxist theoretical framework, whereby services and intelellectual property rights are being transformed into international tradable commodities. Anders Ericson - "If general politics continues developing in the present direction maybe just a generation from now goverenmental support of today's libraries may wither enough not only to open the way for commercial solutions, but to make people demand them. How soon is hard to tell, but what we know, and what Ruth Rikowski clearly shows among other things, is that private companies who run library services will give priority to the parts that make not only profit, but the most profit...Again, Ruth Rikowski has used much of her spare time to spread her ideas of what she is convinced are some of our most urgent needs. Hopefully, a majority of the library and knowledge communities will take her message seriously..."
