Download or read book Public Libraries in the Smart City written by Dale Leorke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from heralding their demise, digital technologies have lead to a dramatic transformation of the public library. Around the world, libraries have reinvented themselves as networked hubs, community centres, innovation labs, and makerspaces. Coupling striking architectural design with attention to ambience and comfort, libraries have signaled their desire to be seen as both engines of innovation and creative production, and hearts of community life. This book argues that the library’s transformation is deeply connected to a broader project of urban redevelopment and the transition to a knowledge economy. In particular, libraries have become entangled in visions of the smart city, where densely networked, ubiquitous connectivity promises urban prosperity built on efficiency, innovation, and new avenues for civic participation. Drawing on theoretical analysis and interviews with library professionals, policymakers, and users, this book examines the inevitable tensions emerging when a public institution dedicated to universal access to knowledge and a shared public culture intersects with the technology-driven, entrepreneurialist ideals of the smart city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For hver skattekrone folkebibliotekene får på landsbasis, får innbyggerne fire ganger så mye tilbake. Dette er Svanhild Aabøs konklusjon i en undersøkelse hvor befolkningen ble spurt om å verdsette bibliotekene. 94 prosent av befolkningen mener det er en demokratisk rettighet å ha et folkebibliotek i kommunen. Dette viser at biblioteket har en verdi både for dem som bruker det, og for dem som ikke selv er bibliotekbrukere. I denne avhandlingen presenterer forfatteren resultatene av denne undersøkelsen. Engelsk tekst. 270 s. 2005. Forhåndsomtale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbarians at the Gates of the Public Library is a philosophical and historical analysis of how the rise of consumerism has led to the decline of the original mission of public libraries to sustain and promote democracy through civic education. Through a reading of historical figures such as Plato, Helvetius, Rousseau, and John Stuart Mill, the book shows how democracy and even capitalism were originally believed to depend upon the moral and political education that public libraries (and other institutions of rational public discourse) could provide. But as capitalism developed in the 20th century it evolved into a postmodern consumerism that replaced democracy with consumerism and education with entertainment. Public libraries have mistakenly tried to remain relevant by shadowing the rise of consumerism, but have instead contributed to the rise of a new barbarism and the decline of democracy.
