The Future of Academic Libraries

Historical academic libraries have a long and diverse history all around the world. Early libraries such as the Alexandria Library in Egypt and the Mesopotamian library are enigmatic, but are known for their love of academic circles. They represent typical of knowledge and wisdom in the ancient world. These ancient libraries may not exist anymore, but since they spread the essence of the whole world and its history to the academic circle, it appeared in the European medical library and the grand library in the US.

The future of academic libraries is uncertain, but depending on the adaptability in the digital world it looks brighter. Libraries must cooperate with students, scholars, and technology to better satisfy the needs of the digital age, not the large warehouse, which is basically a large warehouse. Correction is important so that tomorrow's students are responsible to their library as much as the past students.

Despite the terrible forecasts about the future of academic libraries in the digital era, universities across the country found their libraries and knowledge centers when people believe that digitizing printing and other new technologies make them unnecessary And has changed to learning. Catalysts, cooperation and academic progress All educational institutions need their own vision to build intellectual centers for education, learning, and collaboration in the 21st century. In addition, the vision must reflect the voices of the organization itself and ask what it means to support the creation of academic scholarships. These are the four major areas essential to academic library environmental change.

Many libraries are considering providing publishing services to academic circles with an open access model. The growing demand for publishing services suggests that academic libraries will take on new roles and responsibilities in the near future. Establishment or reconstruction of academic and university publishers may provide a new economic model to academic libraries. According to the survey of the ARL member institutions, the Oberlin group and the university library team in 2011, it was found that about half of the respondents are using the library publishing service or are under development. The copyright problem and technical limitation brought by digital rights management are the biggest obstacles to this change.
