| contents | The Future Is Now: The Era of Downloadable AV Has Dawned--Here's How It's Working in the Real Library World Kim, Ann Librarians Library Services Library Development Information Retrieval Information Technology Electronic Libraries Library Automation Audio Equipment Media Adaptation Communications Computer Security Antisocial Behavior Crime Audiovisual Aids This article discusses the possible answers to most librarians' questions and how advanced and hi-technology help them in the library world. Many of the answers to librarians' questions regarding digital media depend upon community/patron awareness and library resources. In this article, the author presents some quoted statements from electronic resources specialists and different personalities. According to the LJ Audio/Video Survey 2005, the percentage of audiobooks in library collections is dropping slightly, although audiobook circulation and budgets have grown. The decline in collection percentage is likely caused by libraries' embrace of downloadable audiobooks. Although the DVD boom continues unabated, with circulation rising 91 percent in two years, security problems and theft have risen, too. A materially lighter future with download kiosks, cheap and ubiquitous laptops, streaming media, and citywide wireless access is being realized a little every day. Do not blink, because this AV moment in time is just a transition to the next. |
