“The hybrid library” “The dominant user view of a library is of a physical space. But libraries are services which provide organised access to the intellectual record, wherever it resides, whether in physical places or in scattered digital information spaces. The ‘hybrid’ library of the future will be a managed combination of physical and virtual collections and information resources”
