Abstract:
"Building on the success and impact of 'Library 2020: today's leading visionaries describe tomorrow's library' by Joseph Janes, 'Library 2035: imagining the next generation of libraries' updates, expands upon, and broadens the discussions on the future of libraries and the ways in which they transform information services to best serve their communities. 'Library 2035' explores the lessons learned over the past decade and forecasts the opportunities, strengths, and challenges for libraries in the future. Contributors including R. David Lankes, Kelvin Watson, Annie Norman, Miguel Figueroa, and Nicole Cooke, along with 25 other library leaders, were asked to describe the 'library of 2035' in whatever way they wanted. Their responses to this question will inspire, provoke, challenge, and expand our thinking about the role and importance of libraries in the future. Library leaders, LIS students and faculty will find this book particularly meaningful and useful as we grapple with what the future of libraries and the profession will be."-- Publisher's website, viewed on September 30, 2024.
