The 2016 Horizon Report for higher education identifies key trends, challenges, and technologies impacting libraries. It highlights the need for improved digital literacy and personalized learning, while tracking upcoming technologies such as BYOD, augmented reality, and robotics. The report also encourages discussions on how libraries can adapt to these changes to better serve their users.
