It has been fascinating to watch libraries evolve through time and space, remaining buoyant in the face of seismic shifts. In spite of predictions to the contrary, libraries have survived the growing power of digital connectivity, proving themselves as titlist geniuses of technological advancement. Libraries are proving the validity of Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan's (1892-1972) fifth law of the library (that the library is a growing organism), as evidenced by the innovative ways they have managed change. This book places libraries and related institutions on an intellectual pedestal, and examines their methods of survival regarding technological progress. The book makes a valuable contribution to the field of library and information science.
