The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries, by Deborah Lynch

The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries, by Deborah Lynch | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
From www.library.ca.gov - November 28, 2012 5:09 AM

"The California State Library has announced an exciting new tool for public libraries. The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries is a document designed to help libraries reframe their stories of why they are still relevant in today's highly technological society."

 

"This document helps to celebrate the many ways that libraries have already adapted to the changing needs of society in the 21st century.

These include: providing material and digital access to everyone;

serving as a collector of information for future generations;

connecting people, places and ideas in communities;

supporting the discovery of new information;

and becoming a hub to help communities be creators of content."

Library Boy: Future Trends in Law Libraries

Library Boy: Future Trends in Law Libraries | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
From micheladrien.blogspot.fr - May 10, 2012 5:39 AM

Michel-Adrien:

"At a session this morning at the annual conference of the Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL) in Toronto, New York-based consultant Nigel Holloway outlined some of the results of a survey conducted earlier this year among CALL members."

 

"Some 140 law librarians responded, about one quarter of the CALL membership, with two fifths of respondents coming from law firms, a bit over one third from from courthouse libraries, and about one sixth from universities. More than 50% of respondents worked in small libraries (1-3 staff), more or less 20% in medium-sized libraries (4-9), and about one quarter in libraries with more than 10 staff members."

[...]

"The survey is quite revealing about the trend toward digital content. Right now, some 45% of respondents state that more than 40% of their content is in digital format. 70% of respondents expect this to be the situation by 2014."
