Description
Nanotechnology has revolutionized computer and communication technologies by offering nanoscale storage devices with much larger memory capacity, faster information transfer and processing speed, higher quality lightweight and energy-efficient displays, new batteries with longer service life, antibacterial coatings on electronic casings, and much more. Nanotechnology-based electronic gadgets, gizmos, and mobile devices and applications became progressively popular around the globe. They fundamentally changed the process of information storage, retrieval and exchange, as well as modified the behavior and expectations of information seekers in academic libraries. Library users expect flexible web content, easy mobile access to wireless data networks and services. Nowadays academic libraries are experiencing significant transformations to achieve the user expectations and to support the information needs of users in digital environment. The author investigates and discusses how the development of nanotechnology products influences that process.
