This question seems a little out of scope for our site. It sounds like you're a grad student, so you might want to approach your library reference desk.
If you wouldn't mind explaining the political/activist connection, I'd know better how to contextualize your question for Radical Reference. I don't meet to be snooty, but there's really no shortage of library futurism discussions in Library Literature and the internet.
Unfortunately we are not particularly set up to respond to questions ASAP, especially right now when many of our active members are at a library conference. Apologies for unintended snottiness, but it's unclear from your question that it meets our first criterion:
"We designed this site to answer questions from activists and independent journalists on topics related to those activities. This is not a general reference site. For that, we recommend your local public library or Ask MetaFilter."
