Interesting Report on “The Big Shift: Public Library Strategies for Access to Information in Any Format


The increasing volume and availability of digital content, growing prominence of personal information technologies and near ubiquity of Internet access are all transforming the way Americans live, work and play. The shift is pervasive; it impacts what and how we learn and how we connect.In response, libraries are investing in digital materials for their users with plans to incrementally increase their investments in the future. The digital shift is fueled by increased user /consumer demand and increased availability of digital content , but it’s not happening fast enough.We need a big shift.

Interesting.....!!!!!!, Changing from tradition to present is utterly a pain for many of the public libraries in india. even in many of the academic libraries there are e-library facilites in the computer labs, or in laptops.

But fundamentally incresaing the services,, especially the IT enables services should be the focus of every librarians in india.(how many of them can..?)

For a public library citizen oriented IT services are a need.(e.g) in the case of kerala there are village libraries and reading centres throught out kerala

but

....the e-literacy project of AKSHAya avoided the village libraries and started the IT centres of its own similar to that of village libraries.

 

now the village libraries are nothing and the village librarians are getting 200Rs.for doing a job for a day in a village library. sometimes it will be opened ant some times it may not be...........(proper planning is needed)
