Stop worrying about whether libraries will survive the digital age, the
head of the British Library has said, as he argues that they could outlast
the internet.
.
Roly Keating, director of the British Library, said he was shocked at how
many "smart people" still questioned whether libraries were still viable
in the modern age.
.
Saying the institution had countless values worth defending, including
trust, he argued that libraries could prove the most "powerful and
resiliant network yet".
.
"These values predated the internet," he said. "And if we get it right may
yet outlast it."

"When we talk about libraries, I'm told about the old values, the
traditional values of these institutions. Some believe they are being
replaced by new ones about being more open and connected and virtual.
.
"And of course our belief, passionately, at the British Library is that
it's about both. And that's the great richness of what a library is and
can be."
.
Speaking of how libraries could and would flourish in a society obsessed
with the internet, Mr Keating added her had been "very struck" by the
strength of global networks dedicated to the preservation of information.
.
"They stand for a certain freedom, and privacy of thought and search and
expression," he said of libraries.
.
"They stand for private study in a social space; they are safe, they're
places of sanctuary and play a vital role in some of the poorest
communities. And they are trusted.
