Library Futures
Libraries as viewed from the Administration
Building
http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6726948.html
What are the most likely Outcomes?
- Within five years, libraries will
focus exclusively on electronic resources
- Academic computing and libraries will
merge.
- Librarians who do not produce will be
reassigned or fired.
- The library will only house materials
that are actively used.
- Libraries will shrink, in both
collection size and staffing, and funding will be redirected
from libraries to more critical and productive areas of the
university.
Only the last one will happen at WCSU!
