Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google
Libraries have no choice but to collaborate in acquiring and preserving materials…Libraries also need to cooperate on the development of the technologies and the services that will make them relevant for the near-term future. This period of transition for libraries will be hard and expensive. It will require a great deal of innovative thinking, unpleasant trade-offs and changes in lots of jobs for lots of people. But it will pay great dividends to society, if done right, just as investments in libraries have proved wise—and paid off handsomely—for centuries.
