11. Conclusion: -
So, overall study of my seminar paper try to state that designing a library is not
only consideration about the building but also remodelling the features & facilities
inside it. The upcoming generation demand different view as compared to the
traditional one, which results change of aspects about a library, such as;
a. Collection to Connection
b. Place for Catch up
c. Theoretical to Practical
d. Silence turn into Soundproof
The digital era not only demand the digitalisation but also expect a new era
inside the library. It needs library being a social organisation rather than a service
organisation. Though libraries of many countries around the world already been
developed the new site for library, it’s still remain dream for the developing
countries like us. From my observation & point of view, I concluded that the
problems are not actually the finance, technology, or planning, but the mindset of
people about the capability & the library.
