CONCLUSION
“In a world of pervasive digital information, immediacy,
profusion, confusion and solitude, libraries are a haven of
time; they anchor knowledge in time, in space; they are a
place where life unfolds. Their chief strength lies in their
capacity to accumulate and disseminate knowledge, to be
open, relatively standard-free and generous.”
