Public libraries and technology: From “houses of knowledge” to “houses of access”By Kathryn Zickuhr  One major finding in our research into Americans’ use of public libraries is the extent to which libraries are synonymous not only with knowledge and information, but with the tools needed to acquire it in the digital age. Some 77% of Americans now think it is “very important” for public libraries to provide free access to computers and the internet to the community, and 95% think it is important overall. http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2014/07/09/public-libraries-and-technology-from-houses-of-knowledge-to-houses-of-access/

New Report: OCLC Researchers Reorder and Reinterpret Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science For Today’s World Highlights from the Report Today’s library users challenge librarians to move from the simple declaration of “save the time of the reader”; meeting today’s users’ needs requires embedding library systems and services into their existing workflows Our modern-day rephrasing of “every person his or her book” is know your community and its needs The core meaning of “books are for use” is still about access; however, our interpretation focuses on developing the physical and technical infrastructure needed to deliver materials Our interpretation of “every book its reader” focuses on increasing the discoverability, access and use of resources within users’ existing workflows We agree that “a library is a growing organism” and propose growing users’ share of attention http://oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-reordering-ranganathan-20
