Turning libraries into community centres – oder sonstige Zerstörung
Turning libraries into community centres. Libraries are for reading, not knitting.

Diebstahl und Digital
So gefährlich sind heutige Bibliotheken für Bücher
In Neapel bestiehlt ein Direktor seine eigene
Bibliothek, in Zürich findet der Chef, dass ein paar Bücher als
Attrappen reichen: Müssen wir uns um das gedruckte Buch in der
Bibliothek Sorgen machen?

Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever
Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google
John Palfrey:
Bibliotech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google
Basic Books, New York 2015
ISBN 9780465042999.
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.
Educator and technology expert John Palfrey visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to talk about his book, "BiblioTech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google".

The future of libraries
The future of libraries – no books, no knowledge
Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, SPIKED, 15 December 2014
The Carnegie UK Trust has published its final report in its Enterprising Libraries series, a project aimed at making libraries more fundable by having them offer services that promote ‘economic wellbeing’. The report, Beyond Books: The Role of Enterprising Libraries in Promoting Economic Wellbeing, is the culmination of this project and offers recommendations for best practice.
