How will research change and evolve in the 21st century? It's a broad question, and the British Library has created this website http://www.growingknowledge.bl.uk/ to offer insight into the world of innovative research tools.
First-time visitors will want to watch the video on the homepage that features commentary by various scholars and professionals on "The Modern Library", "Information Overload", and "Digital Research".
All of the offerings on the website complement an existing in situ exhibit that includes multimedia research stations and a "collaborative zone". In the "Start Researching" area of the site, visitors can look at standout examples of recent collaborative digital projects that push the contemporary boundaries of research.
Further along, visitors shouldn't miss the "Tools" area which brings together high-quality online tools that can make the research process much easier and streamlined.
Finally, the site is rounded out by a range of social media tools that users can use to stay on top of the latest posts and materials added to this site. http://www.growingknowledge.bl.uk/
