[Irtalk] Expect More: Demanding Better Libraries For Today’s Complex World | Virtual Dave…Real Blog

[Hilton Gibson]

​L​
ibraries have existed for millennia, but today many question their
necessity. In an ever more digital and connected world, do we still need
places of books in our towns, colleges, or schools? If libraries aren’t
about books, what are they about?

In Expect More: Demanding Better Libraries For Today’s Complex World, David
Lankes, winner of the 2012 ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Award for the Best Book in
Library Literature, walks you through what to expect out of your library.
​
​
In the two years since Expect More has been published, it has sold
thousands of copies and been used by librarians and those working with
libraries.
*By making the digital version of the book freely available it is hoped
that more librarians can use the book to engage their boards, principals,
and provosts in a constructive conversation about the future of their
libraries.​*
