British Library to employ robotic librarians
December 9, 2009 · Print This Article
What's the difference among a human and a robotic librarian? None, except that the latter is far more efficient. Librarians have been stereotyped to be drab and boring, but we're certain you've come across some cheerful personalities once in a while. The British Library’s Boston Spa site in West Yorkshire will rely on seven robotic cranes which will be used to retrieve items in its new Additional Storage Building (ASB), and whether it goes well, it will eventually house around seven million items from
the UK national collection. No longer do you need to walk and peruse through aisle after aisle of books to get what you want - you have electronic, robotic help now!Permalink: British Library to employ robotic librarians from Ubergizmo | Hot: Nokia Booklet 3G Review
