In an atmosphere where librarians must deal with rapid
technological change, they also face an even greater challenge in
dealing with a shifting perception about their role and the role of
the library in today's research environment. Increasingly,
administrators view the value of library services with a new and
often inchoate set of evaluation criteria, while users expect
instant and seamless access to an expanding array of information
resources. There is a growing expectation that librarians should be
able to do more with less.
Survival requires a strategy to redefine the library's role and
validate the value of organized information services within an
institution. Our colloquium will offer the perspectives of three
speakers representing three distinctly different organizations who
understand the importance and value of libraries and information
services in a high-stakes research setting. |
