Public Libraries in the Smart City
Autor Dale Leorke, Danielle Wyatten Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2018
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.

This
book
outlines
the
various
ways
in
which
public
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,
it
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.
