Libraries today are more important than ever. More than just book
repositories, libraries can become bulwarks against some of the
most crucial challenges of our age: unequal access to education,
jobs, and information. In BiblioTech , educator and technology
expert John Palfrey argues that anyone seeking to participate in
the 21st century needs to understand how to find and use the vast
stores of information available online. And libraries, which play a
crucial role in making these skills and information available, are
at risk. In order to survive our rapidly modernizing world and
dwindling government funding, libraries must make the transition to
a digital future as soon as possible,by digitizing print material
and ensuring that born-digital material is publicly available
online. Not all of these changes will be easy for libraries to
implement. But as Palfrey boldly argues, these modifications are
vital if we hope to save libraries and, through them, the American
democratic ideal.
