About

Welcome to Library Transformation — your guide to the digital evolution of academic and public libraries across the United States. Our mission is to explore how technology is reshaping the modern library, making information more accessible, efficient, and engaging for students, faculty, and communities.

Today’s digital libraries are more than just collections of books — they are dynamic knowledge hubs powered by innovation. From advanced library management systems and integrated library systems (ILS) to digital resources, archives, and educational technology, university and public libraries are transforming how we learn, research, and connect.

At Library Transformation, we highlight:

Cutting-edge library technology improving access to digital content and research tools

The growth of digital learning platforms that support online and hybrid education

How central and main libraries, including the Chicago Library, are leading the way in digital innovation

Best practices for creating inclusive, sustainable, and user-friendly library environments

Whether you’re exploring a library near me, managing a digital collection, or researching the impact of data-driven library strategies, Library Transformation offers insights into the future of knowledge sharing. Join us as we document how libraries continue to adapt — preserving their core mission while embracing the digital age.
