The Future of Academic Libraries

John Dupuis in the Confessions of a Science Librarian blog has created an excellent list of recent major reports on the future of academic libraries. He apologizes for the length of the list and some additional focus on academic science library issues. This is not necessary and it's wonderful to have this great list in useable form. If you follow the link you'll find every single report linked as well.

Thanks John.
