Abstract
Libraries have been, and continually are, being transformed. I have written a considerable amount about the value of the library, particularly the public library (see Rikowski, 2001a, b, 2002a, b, c, d, e, 2003b, 2005), but with the slant being more towards the traditional library. However, the digitisation programme has expanded rapidly, particularly over the last 10 years or so, and the traditional library has been and still is undergoing much change. The term the ‘hybrid library’, combining both the traditional library and the digital library, is being referred to more and more today, although obviously it is still not in common usage amongst the general public.
