Our goal is
to enhance the effectiveness of existing libraries as sources of
information through the integration of new technologies. The Electronic
Library of the Future accomplishes this through a system of
transportable Design Components. These
items can be moved among neighborhoods and communities to provide
improved access to the latest technologies.
The components
are dispersed throughout a library to create information "smart
points." Their portability allows them to adapt to each facility
and enables an endless number of Scenarios
where different tasks can be performed. The role of the library
can be expanded by including events that are based around the access
of information.
Furthermore,
this proposal is a showcase of New Technologies.
As new developments are made, the components will evolve to incorporate
them. The sharing of updated technology will benefit every community
by providing equal access to information to the poorest and richest
neighborhoods.
