Fast Company recently brought our attention to a new report  done by Arup University, a well renowned research institution. As others have said, as we find ourselves in a time of great technological upheaval, libraries can survive, but they’re going to have to change, and fast! Can they change fast enough? are we headed in the right direction? and what kind of change is needed? Do words like collaborative, robotic, and participatory pique your interest?

The full report is free for download, is 44 pages in length, and contains many graphics and pictures. More than reading a sound bite, this report is worth a thoughtful read. If you want the Fast Company cliff notes version, click here.
