Innovating in Libraries, Volume 2 : Surviving Technological Lethargy in Times of Endless Transformation
Overview
The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by the transformative forces of the Integrated Industrial revolution (4th-5th Industrial Revolutions)--a new era where data, connectivity, and human-machine interaction define progress. For libraries, this revolution presents both challenges and opportunities, demanding innovation in services, technologies, and strategies.
Both Volume 1 and 2 of Innovating in Libraries explore how academic libraries can harness emerging technologies, integrate Human-Tech synergistic and reciprocal solutions, and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on education, industry innovation, and reducing inequality. Contributions from leading experts and practitioners--many drawn from across the globe and selections from the Zimbabwe University Library Consortium's 5th Biennial International Conference--offer global insights into spatial design for digital libraries, platform capitalism, open science, ethics, change management, and more.
With an international perspective and forward-thinking approach, Innovating in Libraries is essential for library professionals, educators, and policymakers navigating the future of information access in an era of rapid change.
