This book advances the belief that the library-more than any other
cultural institution-collects, curates and distributes the results
of human thought. Essays broaden the debate about academic
libraries beyond only professional circles, promoting the library
as a vital resource for the whole of higher education. Topics range
from library histories to explorations of changing media. Essayists
connect modern libraries to the remarkable dream of Alexandria's
ancient library-facilitating groundbreaking research in every
imaginable field of human interest, past, present and future.
Academic librarians who are most familiar with historical
traditions are best qualified to promote the library as an
important aspect of teaching and learning, as well as to develop
resources that will enlighten future generations of readers. The
intellectual tools for compelling, constructive conversation come
from the narrative of the library in its many iterations, from the
largest research university to the smallest liberal arts or
community college.
