如果您认为 iPad、Kindle Google 图书 的成功已经解决了电子书是否能胜任实体书的工作,那就忘了这个想法吧。《Slate》杂志在 11 月 16 日又发表了一篇关于书籍实体重要性的文章,这篇文章可能没有为这场辩论增加任何新内容,但它提醒我们,人们仍然对书籍作为实体物品的必要性持有强烈的意见。然后在 11 月 19 日th《赫芬顿邮报》发表了这篇文章,这篇文章同样描述了电子出版界不断变化的世界,尽管其成功与否一直存在相当大的争议。而这封写给其他各种赞美书面表达实体性的情书于 12 月在《金融时报》杂志上发表。所有这些都表明,人们仍在谈论和思考实体在我们与文字关系中的重要性。我甚至不会想表达对这些作者是否正确的看法,但可以肯定的是,正在建造刚刚开放的 北卡罗来纳州立大学詹姆斯·B·亨特图书馆 的人们对此持有不同的看法。

其创建者表示,亨特图书馆在开放时将 “成为全国最好的学习和协作空间”

而且它是一个闭架图书馆。

我自己曾 大声疾呼反对闭架的概念,其他人也对 纽约公共图书馆提出了同样的问题,所以当我有机会与系统设计背后的人员一起参观詹姆斯·B·亨特图书馆时,我欣然前往。这段视频让您对我的所见所闻有所了解。

罗利《新闻与观察家报》的这篇报道提供了一些最新的精美图片。亨特图书馆已经是一个令人惊叹的地方,既然它已经开放,我可以与它一起工作,看看它在实现目标方面做得如何,那么我将有更多内容要分享。但再说一遍:在新的信息经济中,首先引起大家注意的是它将拥有闭架书库。正如声明所表明的那样,图书馆设计师将图书馆视为人们一起工作和创造的地方,可以访问实体书籍和电子信息。它不是一个装满书的大盒子。

正如我所说,还有更多内容即将到来。感谢 信息技术主管 Maurice York、数字图书馆副馆长 Kristin Antelman、 学习空间和资本管理副馆长 Patrick Deaton、 以及 Wayne Clark,他的头衔确实是北卡罗来纳州立大学工程学院下一代 IT 系统研究所 (ITng) 副研究主任。

 

 

Scott Huler was born in 1959 in Cleveland and raised in that city's eastern suburbs. He graduated from Washington University in 1981; he was made a member of Phi Beta Kappa because of the breadth of his studies, and that breadth has been a signature of his writing work. He has written on everything from the death penalty to bikini waxing, from NASCAR racing to the stealth bomber, for such newspapers as the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Los Angeles Times and such magazines as ESPN, Backpacker, and Fortune. His award-winning radio work has been heard on "All Things Considered" and "Day to Day" on National Public Radio and on "Marketplace" and "Splendid Table" on American Public Media. He has been a staff writer for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Raleigh News & Observer and a staff reporter and producer for Nashville Public Radio. He was the founding and managing editor of the Nashville City Paper. He has taught at such colleges as Berry College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

His books include Defining the Wind, about the Beaufort Scale of wind force, and No-Man's Lands, about retracing the journey of Odysseus.

His most recent book, On the Grid, was his sixth. His work has been included in such compilations as Appalachian Adventure and in such anthologies as Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont, The Appalachian Trail Reader and Speed: Stories of Survival from Behind the Wheel.

For 2014-2015 Scott is a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT, which is funding his work on the Lawson Trek, an effort to retrace the journey of explorer John Lawson through the Carolinas in 1700-1701.

He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, the writer June Spence, and their two sons.
