Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries are constantly facing challenges due to new technology. To keep up with the latest developments, modernizing facilities and using electronic information tools and techniques to provide services in digital form have become essential. This has caused a major shift in the responsibilities of librarians, who are not only engaged in collection development but are also entrusted to provide advanced technological services, as well as generating financial resources for their respective institutions. This change has become easier in the electronic information era as information is treated as the ultimate resource. Computers and networks are expected to play an increasingly important role for resource sharing and information management. Use of information and communications techonology (ICT) is now treated as an essential technology for libraries. Emerging technologies, media, publishing trends, information storage methods, information retrieval practices, and more have changed the concept of library and information services. In this book, analyses are given of the possible changes in library and information services due to the emergence of the digital and virtual environment. The contents of this volume are broadly divided into twelve chapters on these topics, including: ICT in Libraries; Electronic Resources in Libraries; Soft Skills and Librarians; Institutional Repository; Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright; Marketing of Library Services; Application of Cloud Computing in Libraries; E-Learning and Librarianship; Knowledge Management in the Digital Era; Emerging Technology in Libraries; Open Source Software; and Modern Library Services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite calls for electronic, virtual, digital libraries without walls, the walled variety are still being built, some of them massive. This book explores the reasons for this contradiction by examining several notable new library facilities around the world to see how modern expectations for libraries are being translated into concrete and steel. More and more libraries are looking at change not as a dreaded hazard but as an opportunity that can itself be seized to strengthen the library in the areas of mission, technologies, facilities, funding, and organizational structure. Thirteen libraries are discussed--by a librarian or administrator who worked on the project. Each author writes about the design and building concerns that were particularly relevant to that library: philosophy, political issues, or any other concerns that affected planning, building, and services in the new facility. Introductory and concluding chapters identify underlying values and themes, tying everything together. The unique combinations of issues, constraints, and opportunities show how libraries are planning to fit into the approaching era of virtual information delivery.

This book was released on 2000-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public library director needs information that helps in understanding what is involved in planning for a public library building project. This applies whether the subject is a free standing independent building, a branch library, a joint-use facility with a museum, a senior academic library, a community or junior college library, or a school library. Reading this book will not turn a reader into a qualified specialist on library buildings, but it will help librarians and others learn what should be known about a project so that they may function effectively as part of the planning team. The concept of modern libraries is moving toward interactive connections with information sources far beyond the immediate community. For the contemporary public library, this means connection to a network, with several terminals constantly online to the Internet. New library buildings must be constructed with these and other needs in mind. The public library director needs information that helps in understanding what is involved in planning for a public library building project. This applies whether the subject is a free standing independent building, a branch library, a joint-use facility with a museum, a senior academic library, a community or junior college library, or a school library.
