As with all new technologies, we always have two ends on the discussion poles, one side takes us into a world most of us have a difficult time conceiving and the opposite side allows little change or acknowledgement of innovative technologies.
I tend to fall into a middle group--collaboration of new ideas with traditional ways to create a third vision. I agree when Dr. Wendy Schultz writes, “…Library 4.0 revives the old image of a country house library and renovates it …” to incorporate “… a retreat from technohustle with comfortable chairs, quiet, good light, coffee and single malt…”
Yes, libraries will continue to adapt and incorporate technology but it will always keep its core, a refuge from our high paced environment and a retreat into our imaginations created through the simple activity of reading.
