Citaat:
The academic library has died. Despite early diagnosis, audacious denial in the face of its increasingly severe symptoms led to its deterioration and demise. The academic library died alone, largely neglected and forgotten by a world that once revered it as the heart of the university. On its deathbed, it could be heard mumbling curses against Google and something about a bygone library guru named Ranganathan.
1. Book collections became obsolete.
2. Library instruction was no longer necessary.
3. Information literacy was fully integrated into the curriculum.
4. Libraries and librarians were subsumed by information-technology departments.
5. Reference services disappeared.
6. Economics trumped quality.
