A biblioteca nos tempos e espaços digitais: Novos e antigos desafios

Abstract

The present study – developed in the form an essay – examines the possibilities of coexistence between the library and the communication processes of digital basis. To do so, first we analyze the implications of what has been called digital culture for personal and social cultural development, highlighting the limits and the conceptual and practical misunderstandings that result from the fascination of technology and trivialization of knowledge; following this, we present the foundations of an effective democratic public policy in library.
