What will libraries of the future look like? This article
discusses a new library on the campus of the University of Chicago, the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library. Viewing the
dome from the street, no one would have any idea that this library has the capacity
to hold 3.5 million volumes in its underground storage facility. This article
gives a nice overview of the library while addressing many of the issues
libraries of the future face, such as quick and easy access to the physical
books, researcher needs, e-books, bar codes, retrieval systems, and even the
Google Book Library Project.
