Paper Title:
Leveraging Platforms and Emerging Technologies for the Future of Public Libraries in Europe: Vision 2030, Objectives, and Implementation Strategies: A Technology Assessment
This paper investigates the potential of emerging technologies to enhance the operations and societal roles of public libraries in Europe by 2030, addressing the pressing challenges of digital transformation that these institutions face in fulfilling contemporary needs. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating qualitative data on technology adoption, user engagement, and stakeholder perceptions alongside quantitative analyses of library service usage and demographic trends, the research identifies significant gaps in current practices and the urgent necessity for innovation. The findings reveal that while many libraries are adopting new technologies, there exists a disparity in user engagement and a lack of strategic alignment with the evolving community needs, which significantly hinders their effectiveness. These insights underscore the importance of integrating emerging technologies not only for operational efficiency but also for fostering community health and wellbeing through enhanced access to information and services. The study has broader implications for the field of healthcare by suggesting that public libraries can serve as vital community hubs contributing to health literacy and access to healthcare resources. Ultimately, this research advocates for a strategic investment in technology and training within public libraries to facilitate their transformation into pivotal institutions that support public health and enrich civic engagement in the digital age.
