Small, Margaret
Australian Library Journal, v46 n4 p409-19 Nov 1997
The role of libraries within the virtual university is unclear, and the danger exists that students will be expected to rely solely on the Internet. This article argues that librarians must reinvent the library and their role as information providers. Examines virtual universities in Australia and North America and the roles of librarians and libraries. (PEN)
