At the end of the 20th century, college and university libraries
face enormous challenges and opportunities. As campuses move into
the information age, the mission and role of the library is being
redefined. While the amount of information libraries need to
acquire continues to increase, the resources available to do so are
insufficient. Moreover, administrators need to assess the
relationship between the library and the computer center, as both
fight for limited resources. This book offers academic
administrators and librarians a better understanding of the issues
facing the library during this time of change and the role of the
library in the evolving campus of the future. Chapters are written
by expert contributors, who reflect a range of perspectives and
experience. The authors treat such current and emerging issues as
the future of printed material in the library, the role of the
library in instruction, the library and the larger campus
community, the training and development of personnel for the
future, library expenditures at a time when technology quickly
becomes obsolete, and the future of academic libraries.
