This session presents a strategy for academic libraries for the next 20 years. The strategy components are:
1) Complete the migration from print to electronic collections
2) Retire legacy print collections
3) Redevelop the library space
4) Reposition library and information tools, resources, and expertise
5) Migrate the focus of collections from purchasing materials to curating content
The interactions of the strategy components and organizational issues for implementation will be explored in this session.
