BiblioTech by John Palfrey


  • Palfrey offers a broad overview of libraries in the past in in today's digital age.
  • The author makes broad and idealistic recommendations for libraries thrive in the new information ecosystem. This top-down perspective issuing prescriptive recommendations misses the organic origins of many of the library innovations the author touts.
  • The idea target audience for this book would be a non-librarian interested in libraries.  It serves as an introduction to the current state of libraries.
