Abstract
In this exclusive interview, Dr. Robert K. Logan talks about the past, present, and future of the book and the reader from a Media Ecology perspective. He describes the influences that the internet, the World Wide Web and social media exert on readers and consequently on the formats of books. The interview is focused on his book The future of the library: from electronic media to digital media, which was originally co-authored with Marshall McLuhan in the late 1970s. The work on the book was halted because of McLuhan’s death in 1980 but Logan, in 2016, returned to the project retaining what he and McLuhan wrote but updated it with information concerning the impact of digital media on the library.
