“Libraries
have
tradi.onally
offered
the
‘convenience,
immediacy,
and
direct
access
to
a
wealth
of
content’
that
would
have
been
otherwise
unavailable
to
the
consumer.
In
the
digital
environment,
libraries
struggle
to
maintain
a
primary
role.
New
expecta.ons,
advanced
technologies,
and
market
innova.ons
are
evolving
faster
than
libraries
can
reasonably
compete
with,
since
resource
limita.ons,
reduced
staffing,
and
conflic.ng
priori.es
inhibit
libraries’
technological
agility.”
