This book explores how libraries can exploit the potential of emerging technologies and provides strategies and techniques for supporting learners in the virtual and physical environment. Chapters cover new learner centric models of support, user owned services, changing roles - changing lives; it also explores how evaluation and innovation can combine to provide powerful new ways of facilitating learning, and the interim tensions which technological and cultural change bring.
