"The Espresso Book Machine: a change agent for libraries''
Kenning ArlitschJ. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to examine the disruptive implications of the Espresso Book Machine on library user services, collection development, and special collections.Design/methodology/approach -- The approach takes into account various published articles and online statements to help articulate and support the arguments.Findings -- Library users can derive immediate benefit from a machine that prints books for them in only a few minutes. The EBM's impact on collection development in libraries may change a decades-old model of speculative buying to one of buying on demand. The EBM can also help libraries bring high-quality facsimiles of their unique special collections books to the public, and perhaps even generate a revenue stream that might offset costs.Originality/value -- This is an original article that draws on other published and unpublished research and opinion articles.Keywords Collections management, Digital libraries
