What will become of libraries? - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Inside Higher Ed recaps Educause's annual conference held last month, in which one session asked participants to visualize the college library of the future. A recent MIT report suggests that libraries will transition from repositories of historical and research information, to open source hubs with information on best practices and real-time deployments to address intractable problems. The model follows a similar effort from the Georgia Institute of Technology, which will share book storage space with Emory University to make its library facility more conducive to studying and innovation. http://www.educationdive.com/news/what-will-become-of-libraries/431163/
