The book ecosystem is radically changing, and libraries must change with it. This book tackles the controversial discussion about Books and explores librarian-driven solutions and visions for the future of libraries in the 21st century.
The Book Revolution: A Primer for Librarians on the Front Lines is exactly what its title promises: an essential resource for librarians facing the formidable task of coordinating the library-wide transition to Books and fielding questions from patrons about Books on a daily basis.
After an introduction that covers the basics of Books and current Book technology, the author puts things into perspective, documenting the changes that have occurred over the past decade. She also delves into important Book issues, identifying librarian-driven solutions and providing glimpses of what libraries in the near future will likely be like. The book examines perennially critical issues such as accessibility, resource sharing, and the digital divide within the context of Book technology and provides a clear framework for discussing Books, thereby enabling readers to make informed decisions regarding their own organizations.
