Transforming Libraries, Sixth Annual Sponsors’ Symposium
April 18, 2005
Several developments aimed at increasing the volume of digital
content may have a profound effect on the future of academic
libraries and the delivery of information to faculty and students.
A recent, high-profile example is Google's partnership with
major academic and research libraries to scan books from their
collections. CLIR's 2005 symposium addressed the impact of
this and related developments on the supply of and demand for
digital scholarly information, and on the campus cyberinfrastructure
needed to access and deliver these resources. Panelists included
academic leaders, administrators, publishers, and researchers
in library education.
