What is happening in library automation?1. Greater demand for digital content

• E-Books, Electronic content, Digitized local content • Printed materials will exist, but demand will continue to decline

2. Libraries will be defined by • Their local and unique digital content• Their information access portals • Their technological capabilities that help in the creation of new knowledge

3. Mobile access and will become essential • Majority of information access will be via handheld devices

4. Discovery systems will become central to information access

• Navigation will replace searching; Visualization will be key • Linked data will be the driving force behind discovery• Access to original source documents will be an essential part in the education process

5. Users will expect interfaces that are totally intuitive 14
