Journal subscription services provider Swets, Netherlands, has announced the launch of www.librariesrevolution.com. According to the company, this website is the focal point of Libraries R-evolution, a collaborative and informative project that sees Swets partnering with members of some of the most respected libraries in Asia Pacific. The project aims to promote the flexibility and sustainability of libraries across the region.
The purpose of the website is to provide a repository of information that will empower other libraries and institutions looking to modernise. It will contain helpful tips, details and best practices on how librarians can stay abreast of the changes occurring within the industry and make the most of their acquired library collections.
The most modern libraries have evolved into highly flexible, hybrid combinations of traditional printed material and digitised information. Each participating partner will outline the steps they have taken to transform themselves from the traditional bricks-and-mortar buildings of old into the dynamic, modern libraries they are today and publish that information online. The website will also contain details of how Swets has evolved over its 110 years of operation; constantly adapting to the needs of its customers and keeping in flow with the trends and developments occurring within the industry.
To coincide with Swets' 110 year anniversary, respected libraries and institutions have been invited to take part in the project. The website is currently available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
