Academic Library Futures

December 19th, 2006

Great piece on the future of acadmic libraries by Roy Tennant:

“Academic libraries might just have a window of opportunity to leap into a future where we add value to our institutions in ways we’ve never imagined before or are only beginning to envision. But that window may already be in the process of slamming shut.

If I were forced to judge the sense of the group, most would describe the glass as half empty. As an optimist, I think it is half full. But I also know that if we choose to stand idly by, there are many who would be glad to empty it for us, no matter how much water the glass contains.”

Kinda makes you want to be more proactive, eh?
