A perspective on the Possibility of Library DX in a long-time span

Abstract

The digital transformation (DX) is being promoted as a policy to create innovative business models through digitization of operations and products, especially the industrial sector in Japan. In recent years, DX has been emphasized in the fields of education, research, and libraries as an innovation through the promotion of digitalization of library operations and services. This paper reviews the importance of collaboration among university libraries and with national institutions such as the National Institute of Informatics(NII) and the National Diet Library(NDL) by reconsidering DX from a long-term perspective and discussed about a future direction for DX.
