Digital Darwinism implies that organisations which cannot adapt to the new demands placed on them for surviving in the information age are doomed to extinction. But there is significant drivers of change in the library over the past few years. It includes the changing technology and users that migrated to a digital world. We live now in a world with information abundance and the information is easily available online. The library must be where the users are, on the social media and the internet. Certain type of library data are identified that can be analysed to improve services. Library spaces can change from physical to virtual, from traditional to creative spaces. Libraries can be part of open access and open resources and building Institutional repositories. Maybe the library catalog can be more like search engines?

The Unesco World Declaration on Higher Education for the Twenty-First Century states that education is a fundamental pillar of human rights, democracy, sustainable development and peace and the global world must recognise education for citizenship. There must be a protected space for universities, staff and students to be able to speak out on ethical, cultural and social problems and to play a role in helping identify and address issues that affect the well-being of communities, nations and global society. There is a shift away from a discipline-specific learning paradigm to preparing students for global responsibility. Indigenous knowledge systems is crucial to the success of academic transformation. Students want to be part of a values-driven global future. Academics will need to be ‘re-educated. Sustainable development goal 4 is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
