Exploring the Future of Academic Libraries: A Definitional Approach
Sennyey, Pongracz; Ross, Lyman; Mills, Caroline
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v35 n3 p252-259 May 2009
The central argument of the article is that while the building, the collection and the staff were inseparably linked, in a digital environment these facets of the library are diverging. This divergence clouds the process of envisioning a future for the library, but, if properly defined, it is a source of clarity, which sheds light on strategic opportunities.
