Libraries in the USA and globally are undergoing quiet revolution.
Libraries are moving away from a philosophy that is
collection-centered to one focused on service. Technology is key to
that change. The Patron Driven Library explores the way technology
has moved the focus from library collections to services, placing
the reader at the center of library activities. The book reveals
the way library users are changing, and how social networking, web
delivery of information, and the uncertain landscape of e-print has
energized librarians to adopt technology to meet a different model
of the library while preserving core values. Following an
introduction, the first part begins with the historical milieu, and
moves on to current challenges for financing and acquiring
materials, and an exploration of why the millennial generation is
transformational. The second part examines how changes in library
practice can create a culture for imagining library services in an
age of information overflow. The final chapter asks: Whither the
library?
