Libraries of the Future
September 24, 2009
NEW YORK CITY - The university library of the future will be sparsely
staffed, highly decentralized, and have a physical plant consisting of
little more than special collections and study areas.

That's what Daniel Greenstein, vice provost for academic planning and
programs at the University of California System, told a room full of
university librarians Wednesday at Baruch College of City University of
New York, where the higher education technology group Ithaka held a
meeting to discuss "sustainable scholarship."
