520 |a As we begin to fundamentally redefine our world, informed through the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) lens, entire industries are gearing up for this disruptive event. Library practices have been no exception. With the advent of advanced digital technology, knowledge is becoming more readily accessible.

Tracing the evolution of technology over the centuries, the changing role of the library as a response to disruptions is discussed.
