This volume is the first to examine the social, cultural, and
political implications of the shift from the traditional forms and
functions of print-based libraries to the delivery of online
information in educational contexts. Libr@ries are conceptualized
as physical places, virtual spaces, communities of literate
practice, and discourses of information work. Despite the
centrality of libraries in literacy and learning, the study of
libraries has remained isolated within the disciplinary boundaries
of information and library science since its inception in the early
twentieth century. The aim of this book is to problematize and
thereby mainstream this field of intellectual endeavor and inquiry.
Collectively the contributors interrogate the presuppositions of
current library practice, seek to understand how library as place
and library as space blend together in ways that may be both
contradictory and complementary, and envision new modes of
information access and new multimodal literacies enabled by online
environments. Libr@ries: Changing Information Space and Practice is
intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers, and educators in the fields of literacy and
multiliteracies education, communication technologies in education,
library sciences, information and communication studies, media and
cultural studies, and the sociology of computer-mediated space.
