Abstract |
The library survived the doom predicted upon it with the advent of technology in the 1970s. The library has been relevant in all ages, irrespective of the in-road made by technology in information processing and management. It is the generational asset of the library that has made it to continue to render services even in the face of competitors, such as the Internet. This chapter looks at the relationship between the library, technology and cultural preservation and how they complement one another. The role of the librarian in ‘midwifing’ them was also discussed.
Keywords: Libraries, Librarian, Culture, Digital Society.
