Description

The digital age has transformed information access in ways that few ever dreamed. But as we look back at this new landscape, it's clear that libraries have been left reeling. The author sets out to explore the elephant in the room - are libraries obsolete? Mark Y. Herring argues that they are not. Instead, he examines how libraries and librarians can continue to be relevant, vibrant and enduring in a digital world. The book offers a fair hearing to both sides of the debate, from those who see the web as the ultimate source of information to those who value the role of traditional librarians. By exploring this issue, Herring aims to shed light on how libraries can adapt and thrive in the face of changing technology.
