In this newly revised and expanded third edition, The Changing
Academic Library: Operations, Culture, Environments, number 74 in
ACRL’s Publications in Librarianship series, presents a critical
examination of major issues facing colleges and universities and
the unique challenges their libraries face. In twelve
chapters—including a completely new second chapter on the state
of higher education—the book presents an overview of higher
education and the role of libraries within the institution,
covering academic models from private colleges to public
universities; discusses governance models, financing, and
organizational culture, and the library’s place within them;
examines changes in scholarly communication; looks at the impact of
the library on its community; and explores issues affecting library
collections, access, services, and staffing. As the world of higher
education continues to change, academic libraries and librarians
must respond to shifts in their purpose and operations to provide
the best services to their communities. The Changing Academic
Library can be used as a text in library and information science
courses, as well as an introduction for new professionals and
academic administrators. Its fresh and detailed examination of the
environment of colleges and universities and the political and
social forces that operate in higher education, past, present, and
future, can also benefit practicing academic librarians.
