Academic Library / Digital Collections / Storage Systems / Preservation / Archive / University Library
The role of the academic library has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past century. From traditional repositories of print collections, libraries have evolved into dynamic centers for learning, research, and collaboration. Early libraries (Brawne, 1970) focused primarily on collection development and preservation. The mid-20th century saw a shift towards providing access to information, and the late 20th and early 21st centuries have witnessed the rise of the digital library and the learning commons model.
