This book highlights the economic importance of the library sector. Providing an accessible and concise expert overview of the most important economic features and diversified functions of libraries, the authors also summarise the challenges and opportunities deriving from digital technologies, the management of cultural infrastructures, and audience development. This unique shortform book fills a longstanding gap in our understanding of the demand and supply of library services. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of economics and the creative and cultural industries. It also provides useful insights for students and lecturers, as well as topics of discussion for professionals"--cProvided by publisher.  aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 0aLibrariesxEconomic aspects.993680 0aLibrary sciencexEconomic aspects.993681 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / General2bisacsh 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Nonprofit Organizations & Charities2bisacsh9928261 aRizzo, Ilde,eauthor.993682 0aRoutledge research in the creative and cultural industries.993683403Taylor & Francisuhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003331896423OCLC metadata license agreementuhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf  cE-Books  c67606d67606
