Library
Article Abstract:
The modern library derives from a vision of public service developed in the late 19th century, and existed at various times in the past as a commercial service, an educational resource, a religious domain and a political institution. The library continues to exist in these and other various forms in contemporary times, in addition to the professorial libraries held by law firms and scientific or technological associations, multimedia lending libraries and certain areas of the world-wide web.

Article Abstract:
Some commentators, especially in the 1990s, sought to distinguish the digital aesthetic from all previous aesthetic modes, but scholars and critics are increasingly coming round to a disputed and various but common belief in continuities between digital and previous arts. The distinction between analogue and digital when stated technically is minor and continues to obscure with the proliferation of digital media across professional disciplines.
