The ever best presentation that I have found on TED. And now it's very clear what next-generation library is and why investment in the library sector is important enough. Content creation facilities should be a basic service of any kind of library because library is the place of creating the new document as well as documentation. As people are passing a huge amount of time on social media, digital content is gaining popularity day by day. So, it's the proper time to think about digital content like audio-visual. The library could be an actual medium to work as a platform for digital content creation and knowledge share.

Very Interesting. I would love to see any potential research on impact to quality of life, job numbers or other measurable factors due to Libraries & next level etc. I know the community library that I visit with my kids is quite busy, and we enjoy it quite a bit.
