Recently in the Defence Research & Development Organization Workshop on “Innovative and Emerging Technologies for Library Professionals”. Venue: Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences, New Delhi. Dates: 4-8 August 2014 this matter was raised by Prof. Shalini R Urs.

Personally I think,

The library in the present form will not exist in future. Even the librarian will be weeded out from the society. The Library budget cuts across the globe, closing of the some of the existing libraries, non recruitment of vacant posts, diminishing uses of the libraries start reflecting the same.

The Librarian and Library should adapt towards the changes happening in the society. It need to be redefined to suit the taste of the modern times.

Dear Abdul Azeez

Please don't feel sad by the views of Dr. Barman Sir. It is just an opinion, like you also have, just opposite of it. And, it is public speaking, so you should protest it by giving your valuable suggestions in this regards.

Dear Azeez,

Based on my knowledge and belief I think that the libraries will not exist in present form and it is only my personal view. I dont found a reason for demotivation here. The libraries are evolving, the future organization that will support our teachers, students by way of selecting, curating, providing information may not be the our traditional libraries. People even start renaming the Libraries as Knowledge Centre, Information Centre and so on.

Kindly note the following comments. People have completely different views.

The Library will close forever when:

1. The kids will stop using pencil and notebook.

2. The teachers will stop using books in their teaching and research activities.

3. When the publishers will stop publishing,

4. When the knowledge will disappear.

Dear professionals,

   In the era of the rise of digital technologies and the accompanying rise of audio-visual culture;
the future of the library is, in some way, a paradox.

Libraries will only survive if the communities they serve want and need them to.
