You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Hybrid library''' is a term used by [[librarian]]s to describe libraries containing a mix of traditional print [[library]] resources and the growing number of electronic resources.<ref>((Cite web|last=Adolphus|first=M|date=2016|title=The hybrid librarian|url=http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/librarians/management/viewpoints/hybrid.htm?part=1|access-date=15 November 2021|website=emeraldgrouppublishing.com))</ref><ref>((Cite journal |last=Allen |first=L. |date=April 7–10, 2005 |title=Hybrid librarians in the 21st Century library: A collaborative service-staffing model. ACRL Twelfth National Conference, Minneapolis. Minnesota. |url=https://alair.ala.org/bitstream/handle/11213/17058/allen_hybridlibrarians21stcenturylibrary.pdf |journal=ACRL Twelfth National Conference))</ref>

==Overview==
Hybrid libraries are mixes of traditional print material such as books and magazines, as well as electronic based material such as [[download]]able [[audiobook]]s, [[electronic journal]]s, [[e-book]]s, etc. Hybrid libraries are the new norm in most public and [[academic libraries]].((citation needed|date=August 2010))

It seems that the term "hybrid library" was first coined in 1998 by Chris Rusbridge in an article for ''[[D-Lib Magazine]]''.<ref>Chris Rusbridge: [http://www.dlib.org/dlib/july98/rusbridge/07rusbridge.html "Toward the Hybrid Library"], ''[[D-Lib Magazine]]'', July–August 1998.</ref>

Hybrid libraries evolved in the 1990s when electronic resources became more easily available for libraries to acquire for public use.((citation needed|date=August 2010)) Initially these electronic resources were typically access to material distributed on media such as [[CD-ROM]] or searches of specialised [[database]]s. [[OCLC]] helped push libraries towards acquiring digital resources by providing a centralized technology resource for participating libraries.<ref>Malinconico, S. Michael: "[[Digital Preservation]] Technologies and Hybrid Libraries," ''[[Information Services and Use]]'', 159(74): 173, 2002</ref> Now, with the widespread availability of digital content, it includes [[Internet]] resources and documents which are online, such as [[eprint]]s.

The libraries own and subscribe to different resources in different formats. Some of the common formats are [[ejournal]]s, serials, print monographs, [[CD]] and [[DVD]]. The main components of digital library framework are user interfaces, repository, handle system, and search system.<ref>Arms, W. Y., Blanchi, C., & Overly, E. A.: "An Architecture for Information in Digital Libraries". ''D-Lib Magazine'', February 1997.</ref> The handle system and search system are the major components that should be designed with interoperability features to search across different repositories owned by different vendors. The user interface should be designed in a generic way that it helps library patrons develop a common knowledge to do advanced searches across all repositories.

Hybrid libraries are the new norm for many [[archivist]]s as well.((citation needed|date=August 2010)) [[Digitization]] has changed the way archivists have gone about preserving historical items. Archivists are now using digital technology to preserve items that were once only preserved by things like [[microfiche]]. Archivists now use things like [[digital imaging]] which make it possible for researchers to see historical items online.<ref>Malinconico, S. Michael: "Digital Preservation Technologies and Hybrid Libraries," ''Information Services and Use'', 159(74): 162, 2002</ref>

The emergence of the hybrid library has put a new emphasis on [[copyright]] issues for many libraries. The complicated and changing copyright laws in both the [[United States]] and the [[European Union]] have made it a challenge for many libraries to make sure their patrons are using the digital items lawfully.<ref>((cite journal |last=Oppenheim |first=Charles |title=Copyright Issues in Digitisation and the Hybrid Library |journal=Information Services and Use |volume=20 |issue=4 |date=2000 |page=204 |doi=10.3233/ISU-2000-20404 |issn=0167-5265))</ref>

Hybrid libraries need staff that are trained in helping patrons navigate the vast amount of information available in the digital age. Librarians working in hybrid libraries have training in electronic media as well as the traditional print forms.

==Issues in hybrid library==

Some of the issues facing the hybrid libraries are the [[digital divide]], [[interoperability]], [[collection development]], ownership of electronic resources and preservation of digital media.

Any advancement in information technology will be useful only when you know how to use it. The term [[digital divide]] is used to describe the gap between those with information technology knowledge and those who do not.<ref>((cite journal |last=Choemprayong |first=Songphan |title=Closing Digital Divides: The United States' Policies |date=December 19, 2006 |journal=Libri |volume=56 |issue=4|doi=10.1515/LIBR.2006.201 |s2cid=17784485 |url=https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/downloads/028715179 ))</ref>

===Collection development===

[[Collection development]] is another challenge facing the hybrid libraries. The process of collection management in a hybrid library is similar to that of a traditional library. Hybrid libraries follow the same policies and procedures followed in traditional library collection development.<ref name="chowdhury">Chowdhury, G. & Chowdhury, S.: ''Introduction to Digital Libraries''. London: Facet Publication, 2003. 
</ref>

===Ownership of electronic resources===

Ownership of electronic resources is another issue facing the hybrid libraries. Ownership of electronic materials is virtual and not physical. There are no clear policies about the ownership of electronic materials once the subscription is cancelled or expired. Libraries have to pay attention to the legal contracts from the database vendors. If the libraries plan on archiving the electronic resources, then there are legal issues related to it. The most prominent legal issues are intellectual property and authenticity of digital information.((citation needed|date=August 2010))

===Preservation of digital media===

With any new advanced technology related to digital information storage, the main question to be answered is its durability. Digital storage media like disc or tapes deteriorate over time. The main question related to digital preservation is what and how much should be preserved. To make the preservation of digital media cost effective, standardization of different media format is required. Following are the three possible approaches.<ref name="chowdhury" />

===Technology preservation, emulation, and migration===

In technology preservation, both hardware and software related to digital information are preserved.((citation needed|date=August 2010)) This may not be cost effective because changes to hardware and different versions of software need to be either maintained or constantly upgraded.

In emulation, some emulator software programs will mimic the hardware and software of the original data and display in the original format.((citation needed|date=August 2010))

In migration, digital information is converted to a standard media with standard format.((citation needed|date=August 2010))
