SECTION A: Answer ONE question from this Section
QUESTION 1
1.1 Physical Distribution (10)
1.1.1 What can the library do to ensure that physical distribution channels remain
relevant in the digital age? (3)
- **Strengthening Community Connections**: The library can host community events,
author readings, and book signings to draw people into the physical space, creating
a social atmosphere around books.
- **Diversifying Offerings**: The library can expand its collection to include popular
genres, local authors, and multimedia materials like audiobooks and e-readers to
appeal to varied interests.
- **Library Design and Experience**: Creating comfortable and inviting spaces for
reading, study groups, and children’s storytelling can encourage visits and enhance
the physical experience of the library.
#### 1.1.2 What strategies can the library implement to make books accessible to
underserved communities? (4)
- **Mobile Library Services**: Establish a mobile library that visits underserved
neighborhoods on a regular basis, bringing books and reading programs directly to
those who cannot easily access the library.
, - **Multilingual Materials**: Provide reading materials in multiple languages relevant
to the community to cater to diverse populations.
- **Outreach and Community Engagement**: Collaborate with local organizations
and schools to identify the needs of underserved groups and distribute books
accordingly.
- **Book Donations and Exchange Programs**: Encourage community donations and
create a book exchange program to ensure a steady supply of diverse reading
materials.
#### 1.1.3 How would you propose the library balance the cost of maintaining the
physical collections with the need to invest in digital resources? (3)
- **Assessing Usage Patterns**: Regularly evaluate the circulation statistics of
physical vs. digital materials to allocate funding effectively based on community
preferences.
- **Grants and Funding**: Seek grants specifically for upgrading digital resources,
which can help mitigate the costs of maintaining physical collections.
- **Hybrid Model Promotion**: Develop a subscription model for digital resources that
could generate revenue while allowing for continued investment in physical
collections.
### 1.2 Digital Distribution (10)
#### 1.2.1 What challenges might the library face in expanding its digital distribution
channels, and how can these be addressed? (4)
- **Technology Barriers**: Limited internet access or lack of devices within the
community may hinder digital access. To address this, libraries could offer loaner
devices and collaborate with local service providers for internet access.
- **Digital Literacy**: Community members may lack the skills needed to navigate
digital platforms. Providing workshops on digital literacy can help bridge this gap.
