Bis zum Jahr 2040 ist eine Zäsur längst Geschichte: Bibliotheken entstehen ausschließlich in umgewidmeten Gebäuden, Bauen im Bestand hat aus Gründen der Nachhaltigkeit die Entstehung von ...Bibliotheksneubauten vollständig abgelöst. Die drastische Verringerung des ökologischen Fußabdrucks dieser Art des Bauens stellt nicht nur einen Fortschritt in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit dar, sondern die Umnutzung bringt neben den längst bekannten Vorteilen der Transformation von nicht mehr genutzten Gebäuden zu Bibliotheken auch bedeutende städtebauliche Potenziale zur Revitalisierung unserer verödeten Innenstädte und Ortskerne. Andererseits werden heute Bibliotheksfunktionen auch in das verdichtete städtische Wohnen integriert. Mehr als nur eine ‚ökologische‘ Renaissance von Bibliotheken!

Es werden wichtige Etappen der Bibliotheksentwicklung der letzten 50 Jahre angesprochen. Am Anfang stehen die Bibliothekspläne der 70er- und 80er-Jahre, die Grundlagen oder Forderungskataloge für den ...Ausbau und die Reorganisation des Bibliothekswesens waren und nach der Wiedervereinigung die schnelle Integration der Bibliotheken in den neuen Ländern befördert haben. Die Ausstellung Bibliotheca Palatina 1986 mit ihrem überwältigenden Publikumserfolg war Ausgangspunkt der Wiedergewinnung der ehemals Heidelberger Bibliothekschätze durch Mikroverfilmung, Digitalisierung und Forschung. Die EDV-Entwicklung führte zunächst zur gläsernen Bibliothek in weltweiter Vernetzung. Inzwischen ist eine Metamorphose der Bibliotheken im Gang, die ihre Bestände virtuell grenzenlos zur Verfügung stellen können und in ihren Gebäuden neben Informationsmedien aller Art auch Raum für den Wissenserwerb durch aktives, oft kollaboratives Gestalten anbieten. So werden die Bibliotheken – unterstützt durch funktionale und oft auch faszinierende Architektur – immer mehr von den Bibliothekarsbibliotheken der Vergangenheit zu den Nutzerbibliotheken von morgen.
This article is the second of a pair which consider an early eighteenth-century booklist in the library of the National Trust's Castle Ward. Part 1 identified the titles and when these were present ...in the Castle Ward library, today and previously. It provided an assessment of the titles in relation to patterns of book ownership in English and Irish seventeenth-century and early eighteenth-century contexts. Building upon Part 1's refinement of the information drawn from the titles, library catalogues, surviving books, and known details of individual's reading interests, Part 2 uses further provenance details alongside biographical, archaeological, and architectural information to attribute the booklist to a specific time, place, and family unit. Particular emphasis is placed upon discovering the material environment in which this book collection was housed.
This paper presents an empirical research on the strategic development of a large-scale transdisciplinary area, named Intelligent Infrastructure for Human-Centered Communities or IIHCC, in the ...institutional context of Virginia Tech. In such an innovative space, this study investigated the change dynamics, system thinking, and adaptive design strategies associated with the IIHCC evolution and libraries' innovation. It employed a mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews, ethnographic participant observation, and document analysis. The results present an emerging horizon of intelligent infrastructure and ubiquitous mobility and the evolving knowledge space and shifting data sphere in this cyber-physical-human integrated environment. Within such developments, this study discusses the developing scenarios of "smart" libraries as innovative testbeds for data exploration, community knowledge base, and intelligent information interface. It further projects an intelligent, learning, and adaptive library system, featuring exemplary data science platform and dynamic data management mechanism, smart design and innovation space, as well as collective intelligence and creative partnership. During this extraordinary time of horizon change, this timely work informs academic library transformation and its architectural innovation in the age of "smartness."
