Redefining the Academic Library - 3 views

An excellent presentation slide deck about the direction libraries could go. Slides I found most interesting / useful: the comparison of metrics on slide 6, the distribution models on slide 11, the library building example on slide 15, the "eras" of slide 17, the PDA rules on slide 28 - fascinating!, and the distribution of library space on slide 36 - raises good questions for us. The last slide ties it all together really well. This would be a great conversation starter!
