The authors—experts from the fields of library and information science as well as related disciplines including sociology and communication technologies—examine key issues facing libraries, including budget constraints and resource allocation, changing user expectations, and emerging technologies. Utilizing a range of methodologies, including qualitative, mixed-method, and quantitative approaches, contributors demystify the challenges facing modern libraries and offer practical solutions to help libraries thrive in a world of constant disruption.
