Digital information is ever changing in both content and form. From vendor-provided silos to crowd-created content, digital information is a challenge to libraries that are managing the best content for their users as best they can. With the field changing so quickly, it is so hard for libraries to keep up with the present, let alone with what may come.

Beginning with theory, the content presents a real world perspective, with contributors providing case studies on what is happening on the current world stage as well as providing perspectives on what they anticipate will be the developments in future.
