The document discusses the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, which was created to help libraries adapt to changing needs through experimentation and collaboration. The lab takes an entrepreneurial approach, hacking libraries to develop new services and technologies. Some challenges include concerns that the lab does not act like a traditional library. However, the goal is to help libraries evolve by testing new ideas.
