Libraries of all types have undergone significant developments in
the last few decades. The rate of change in the academic library, a
presence for decades now, has been increasing in the first decade
of this century. It is no exaggeration to claim that it is
undergoing a top to bottom redefinition. In this second volume of
the series, Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library, we explore
the initiatives in student learning and training that are underway
in our academic libraries. The 13 chapters range from librarians
redesigning the space in the library in order to assume control of
the campus bookstore to implementing a MOOC where the problems of
providing material to potentially thousands of students taking an
online course must somehow overcome copyright restrictions. A
chapter describes how the iPad has become the chosen delivery
mechanism for a rich array of resources that finally begin to
reflect the educational potential of the digital world. Another
chapter tells how a collaboration creates an audio archive to
enrich the experiences of patrons and raise the visibility of the
special collections unit on campus. Gamification plays a role in
two chapters and active learning is featured in another that
employs the technologies of interactive whiteboards, clickers, and
wireless slates. These approaches, employing new technologies and
terminology, signal that we have begun a new era in the definition
and design of the academic library. We can't expect the redefined
academic library to assume its final shape any time soon, if ever,
but the transformation is well underway.
