ACADIA's Design
Problem:
 "The Library in Limbo"
Library as Cybrid resource
Transition from centralized
resource to decentralized resource
Document collections in
both real space and cyberspace
Social interaction/collaboration
in both real space and cyberspace |

| Our
Interpretation:
The rapid evolution of
technology is enabling/stimulating/provoking a dispersion of the library.
The current ubiquity of
networked computing technologies fosters the widespread dissemination of
information.
Moving from a world of
bits to a universe of Bytes.

|
| Our
Solution:
B.A.T.Mobile as the
vector for dissemination of resources to remote locations.
Enabling customized
access to a world of information from any location. |
 |
|
|
| Eventual
Outcome:
Total dissolution/atomization
of library/information resources to individuals.
|
|
| Historical
Development of Libraries:
Historical review of library
designs illustrates the impact of social and technological advances.
Most evident is the dispersal
of information resources to individuals
|
|
| Enabling
Future Technologies
