  abstract = {Digital information infrastructures such as Google or Wikipedia are often compared to
libraries. As traditional libraries, they support the circulation of knowledge resources.
However, they are neither operated by nor designed for library institutions. In order to
describe the contribution of libraries to the digital infrastructures of the 21st century more
precisely, the term Library Technology is applied in this text. Library Technology will be
demarcated from terms such as Digital Libraries, a frequently used concept in Computer Science
and colloquial language. The focus lies on present and future developments of infrastructures
in science, such as the European Science Cloud (EOSC). It is suggested that the original
contribution of libraries to current and future data infrastructure is present but not
explicitly visible or referenced in communications. This rather hidden, implicit role is
interpreted to be detrimental to the library identity in the 21st century. It is recommended
to reference the role of the library more explicitly.},
