About this title

Synopsis

Libraries are rapidly transforming into inclusive, technology-driven knowledge hubs that promote digital empowerment, equity, and lifelong learning. Moving beyond traditional print models, next-generation libraries integrate smart technologies, innovative services, and sustainable practices to bridge digital divides and strengthen democratic participation. They serve as gateways to intellectual growth, community development, and digital literacy, supporting both national and global development goals. Reimagining Libraries in the Digital Age: Innovations, Inclusive Access, and Transformative Futures examine this transformation through interdisciplinary perspectives on artificial intelligence, sustainability, inclusive education, and community engagement. Drawing on human-centred design principles inspired by Don Norman and the impact of generative technologies such as ChatGPT, the book highlights ethical innovation in library services. Aligned with India’s vision from Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to Viksit Bharat 2047 and the global framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the volume underscores libraries’ roles as inclusive, resilient, and socially responsive institutions shaping informed, connected, and empowered societies.
