The Research Library in the 21st Century

Libraries are ‘the laboratories of the humanities’ and as such play a crucial role in the lives of humanities students and researchers. Libraries are increasingly seen as players in not just access to learning materials but homes for community-building efforts as well. The role of the library is changing and growing, and programming librarians are on the front lines of that change. This book provides a theoretically informed research guide and draws attention to areas of potential research in Library and Information Science.
