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.
