Libraries are concerned with the dispensing and curating of information. Therefore, as Big Data and information shift the landscape of information, their role in information technology shifts as well. [1] Libraries face challenges through changes from the traditional card catalog system to more technology-driven software (the Integrated Library System, also known as ILS). Additionally, Big Data poses questions for patron privacy and information protection in libraries. Lastly, libraries face ethical implications of the information classification and cataloging processes.

History

Prior to the 1960s, many of the information handling in libraries was manual. [2] [3]
