Abstrakt: The digital transformation of libraries is the theme of the paper which is divided into two parts: the hybrid library and the library of the future. Based on an extensive analysis of the literature, especially centered on German-language libraries, the digital transformation of libraries is described. The first part analyzes the innovation in the concept of the hybrid library. The second part outlines the future of libraries presented as an evolution of current trends of distributed collections and data curation. In conclusion, the new role of librarians is described as "embedded" in the user research workflow and interconnected in an ongoing dialogue with users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
