The concept 'digital library' implies networked
access, no? And that the users are not all located in
the same physical space. Hence the noisy library is
not the traditional physical space / building, but
rather a cyber one. In the latter instance noisiness
is good (as long as the infrastructure can handle the
load/hit rate)

Best,

Jennifer
