The research that will be presented in this book documents a seeming paradox: in spite of
massive digitalization of our everyday lives, libraries, archives, and museums are heavily
used as physical spaces and meeting places. The role of LAM-institutions as physical spaces seems to be increasing. Does the massive digitalization we are experiencing lead to a
growing need for and appreciation of physical spaces and meeting places?
