BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Librarians and archivists have been feeling the effects of digitization in their respective fields by the late 1980s. Today, literally no decent sized library (university, municipal, national, private) is run manually. The use of RFID chips have allowed users use check out machines and not interact with the staff. New strides in automation technologies has allowed for a more efficient use of space where machines scan, identify and place and retrieve books within minutes. Digitization of archives has also allowed for a more dispersed and selective use of physical books.  Thus librarians as a discipline has been reduced to working in smaller libraries where the cost of installing expensive management systems does not match the volume.
