Massive technological change has been impacting universities and
university libraries in recent years. Such change has manifested in
technological developments impacting all areas of academic library
activity, including systems, services, collections, the physical
library environment, marketing, and support for university
teaching, learning, research, and administration. Many books and
papers have examined these changes from a technical perspective.
However, there is little substantive reflection on what
technological change means, and how best to get out in front of it,
for the academic library. Technology, Change and the Academic
Library systematically reflects on technological innovation, the
successes, failures and lessons learned, the nature, process and
culture of change, and key aspects including impacts on library
staff and users, roles and responsibilities, and skills and
capabilities. The book takes an international perspective on the
massive change currently affecting academic libraries. The title
gives an overview and literature review, considers technological
innovation and change management, future technologies and future
change, and provides information on further reading. Case studies
describe the rationale, aims, and objectives for particular
technological innovations, and consider methods, outcomes, and
recommendations for the future. Finally, the book reflects back on
how technological change can best be wrought in academic libraries.
