long tail We are busy creating a demand for the long tail, but we also need support for the distribution of it (Lori Bowen Ayre) make it easy - reduce transaction costs (Lorcan Dempsey) make it personal make it fast and convenient - RFID, 24/7, ILL, home delivery cf. Five laws of library science (S. R. Ranganathan, ) Books are for use. Every reader his or her book. Every book its reader. Save the time of the reader. The library is a growing organism. 1931

cf. Five laws of library science (S. R. Ranganathan, )

Books are for use.

Every reader his or her book.

Every book its reader.

Save the time of the reader.

The library is a growing organism.
