The Heart of Texas: With the University of Texas Libraries, Wherever You Go, There They Are
Albanese, Andrew Richard
Library Journal, v131 n19 p36 Nov 2006
In 2005, the University of Texas (UT) at Austin made some surprising national headlines when it removed the book collection from its undergraduate library. Behind the sensational headlines, the move was in fact more "life-as-usual" than "radical change." In today's academic libraries, technology is constantly redefining library services and space, and UT has been one of the nation's most innovative libraries in seizing the digital moment. While national headlines made the removal of a book collection from what is now the Flawn Academic Center (FAC) seem like a milestone in library history, renovating the FAC was welcomed heartily by the UT students. This article describes how the new FAC allows users to access the library services wherever they are. This article also describes the impact of the FAC renovation on students.
