dc.description.abstract	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?	en
