Academic libraries are in the midst of significant disruption. Academic librarians and university administrators know they need to change, but are not sure how. Bits and pieces of what needs to happen are clear, but the whole picture is hard to grasp. Reimagining the Academic Library paints a simple straightforward picture of the changes affecting academic libraries and what academic librarians need to do to respond to the changes would help to guide future library practice. The aim is to explain where academic libraries need to go and how to get there in a book that can be read in a weekend. David Lewis provides a readable survey of the current state of academic library practice and proposes where academic libraries need to go in the future to provide value to their campuses. His primary focus is on collections as this is the area with the greatest opportunity for change and is the driver of most library cost. Lewis provides an accessible framework for thinking about how library practice needs to adjust in the digital environment. The book will be useful not only to academic librarians, but also for librarians to share with presidents and provosts who a concise source for understanding where and how to focus their expenditures on libraries.

Academic Libraries on the Periphery
Author: Kenneth E. Flower
Publisher: Association of Research Libraries
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This paper examines developments at 26 universities to identify patterns and models of telecommunications information planning and decision-making. The study was designed to determine how telecommunications information (TI) policy questions are resolved on university campuses, and by whom. An important aspect of the study was to determine the role of the library and university computing facilities in the formation of TI policy. To gather data for analysis, researchers surveyed 36 universities with local area networks (LANs), whether operational or planned, as listed in the 1985 Automation Inventory of Research Libraries; 26 responded. Seeking to identify the centers of decision-making and to determine spheres of authority, the survey covered wiring, telephone systems, TI policy in general, and the relationship of the library to computing facilities. Data analysis led to the creation of four models of TI policy formation: (1) Academic Affairs Sphere Model; (2) Administrative Services Sphere Model; (3) Computing/Information Systems Sphere Model; and (4) Decentralized Model, which includes a committee-based model. Appendices include detailed survey results on the status of campus wiring and on wiring decisions, university organization charts, and a copy of the survey form. (THC)
