Prediction 1: World Library
Arthur C. Clarke predicts computer based universal encyclopaedia in 1962.

Prediction 2: Closed Library
“… maybe you would have simply banned the Internet to keep the
libraries open.”

Literature is here to stay...
It cannot be foreseen that literature will not be at the heart of scholarship in the
next decades.

...but new things come on top.
The world of knowledge has changed radically – arriving at a universal
encyclopaedia.

New types of users
Library users are not only readers but knowledge workers.

New units of knowledge
Enhanced publications are a continuum of textual resources and underlying
data.

New technology
Complex knowledge resources can now be modelled and linked on the web – even for inferential computing.

A 21st century library mission
To build the most complete and authoritative web representation of
physical and digital knowledge resources at the university
know.uni-x.org
![Page 14: Digital strategies for 21 st century libraries](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568132bd550346895d997f2b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Approach: the user as moving target
Knowledge networking is a dynamic and complex task, in which the user is a
constant.

Background: McLuhan’s Sensorium
There is no principal difference between physical and digital knowledge resources
(‘media’) – both are the extensions of human needs

21st century libraries~
Will face the challenge of constantly changing digital developments in the 21st century.
~
Can follow if the user is kept in the focus.~
Build an augmented knowledge space of physical and digital resources for their users
on the web.~
Will act as the knowledge hub for the university.
