Adapting to Disruption: The Role of IT in the Future of Libraries

In the past couple of years, tech has changed the world as we know it. IT is being used to improve various aspects of everyday life, including education. Also, various jobs and fields have been made because of the rapid advancement in tech. 

With that being said, most people are concerned that tech has also stolen jobs from people. For example, thousands of factory workers worldwide have lost their jobs because IT systems can replace their services. 

Similarly, most people prefer purchasing or renting digital books, as it is more convenient. Even though some think that libraries will not survive the digital age, there are ways in which IT can be used to improve these institutions. 

IT For Learning and Reading

As we have already mentioned, IT can be used to improve various aspects of our lives. For example, schools all over the world have turned to tech for their academic needs. Not only can IT systems enhance learning, but they can also be used for a more contemporary approach to reading. 

Since the release of E-books, bookstores and libraries have experienced a rapid decline in sales. This is partly because it is much more convenient to rent a digital book, as the customer will not have to leave the comfort of their own home.  

The Future of Libraries

Even though fewer and fewer people are visiting bookstores and libraries, there are ways in which IT systems can be used to improve these services. For example, most libraries use tech to better their management systems. 

More so, libraries can go virtual by allowing their members to rent books through a digital platform. In this way, the public will be provided with the convenience of E-books, while the library improves its business. 

Benefits of Using IT in the Future of Libraries

There are various benefits to using IT in the library landscape. As we have already mentioned, tech can be used to improve the management services of the library. More so, the library could offer the public free computer and internet access by having the necessary tech on site. By doing this, the library is likely to gain more clientele. 

Conclusion

IT systems and tech can be used to improve various aspects of our lives. For example, most libraries are starting to turn to IT to gain more clientele. 

This tech can improve the management system, making it more efficient and easier to use. These institutions can also offer their members a virtual platform to download and read E-books. This will make the entire process of renting a book much more convenient for the public. In turn, this could potentially increase the number of people who take out a membership at the library.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
