Popis: Digitalization has permanently changed the environment in which LAM institutions operate. While these changes certainly bring about various opportunities, they also present the institutions, LAM professionals, and users with certain challenges. In this chapter, we discuss these opportunities and challenges from three angles: The impact of digitization on LAM institutions, on LAM professionals, and on users of LAM institutions. On an institutional level, we discuss how digitalization has changed the field of cultural production in which LAM institutions operate; on an occupation level, we discuss the changing working environment that LAM professionals are meant to navigate within; and lastly, we discuss changes in user positions concomitant with digitalization.
