What are the most likely Outcomes?
What do you think the most likey senario for libraries in the future will be?
- 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.
