程度副詞

is just someone who checks books in and out of a library for you,

"Librarian" is a highly skilled profession that requires a lot of specialised training.

It's about helping people research and access knowledge,

Through the 20th century, that knowledge was held in books and on microfilm tapes

stored in central buildings in each town, like this one,

which is actually almost miraculous when you think about it.

The modern public library is a revolutionary, wonderful idea.

Knowledge and information should be available to everyone,

not just the rich and not just the clever.

A lot of that information might be online now

but in-depth research, searching out truth from fiction,

shouldn't be just for people who are able to understand

complex academic citations and referencing.

If you don't know how to look something up,

if you don't even know really what you're looking for,

the librarian's job is to help you find out.

In an ideal world that's what librarians would be doing,

not pushing a cart and moving books around by hand.

That's why here at Oodi, the new Helsinki Central Library,

- This Oodi building was built last year,

and that's why we have a lot of new technology

It has been said that it's like a living room for citizens.

So, for example, in the first floor, we have a movie theatre.

Then, in the second floor, we have things to do.

For example, 3D printers and laser cutters

We have VR classes there, and gaming computers.

so in the third floor, where we have our books,

And so, we have a few classrooms for silent reading.

there's usually some kind of returning machine

that sorts the books to the right places.

The customers can return books from the first floor,

and they will come, using the conveyor, to this basement

and they will be sorted by genre and language.

but we are in progress of further automating it.

Those mobile robots will pick up these boxes

and they will be transferred by them to the third floor,

Small part of books will be shelved by our robotic arm

it will be transferred by those mobile robots.

Then we have some plans to use mobile robots

in nights to scan the books with RFID antennas,

so we know if there's any books in wrong places.

are planned so that they can avoid collisions with people.

and find another way to get to the right position.

At least at this point, there hasn't been any accidents

or things like that, so the robots and humans

and why we have them here, and what they can do.

- This library gets a lot of press for its robots.

There was even a design prototype with googly eyes

that guided people to the shelf they wanted.

But most people can read a map or follow directions.

is the same as robots everywhere: automation.

Don't waste the librarians' time with tasks that a computer can now do.

If you think public libraries are just about collections of books then, yeah,

Public libraries in the 21st century can be where you go to borrow a book,

but libraries were never just about books.

They're about information. Free at the point of use, no price tag.

They're about collaboration and communication.

And about making sure that everyone can find truth.

Thanks so much to all the team at Oodi for showing me around.
