Why libraries that digitize and expedite the availability of new content will not die
The question, however, that comes to mind is, in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, do libraries have a future? The short answer would be: If books have a future, then so do libraries. And libraries are more than just about books. They are safe public spaces where you meet, sit, read and work. Walk into BCL in Delhi and see how crowded it is: young people doing reference work, taking notes from books. Even in the days of internet, a good library is a priceless resource.
Libraries are adapting to new technology to meet the needs of the increasing number of people who access reading material on their digital devices.
how good libraries are innovating and transforming themselves to stay relevant in the age of the internet and e-readers. What is interesting is that even though the medium of reading may have changed, we still continue to read literary classics that were written a 100 years ago.
