The Truth About the Future of the Library
Friday, April 27, 2007, 3:00pm
Alfred Friendly '33 Periodicals Reading Room
Robert Frost Library
Will there still be BOOKS? If there are, will students use them? · Do we KNOW ENOUGH about how scholars conduct their research and what they need? · Do STUDENTS come here with the skills they need to go beyond GOOGLE and WIKIPEDIA? · What kind of environment is necessary to support AMHERST'S VISION for intellectual productivity and INNOVATION? · Does the BUILDING still matter?
We want your TRUTH. Join us for a lively discussion of the impact of new modes of communication on scholarship and publishing, the role of the library in fostering inquiry and academic community, and identifying and developing the resources and knowledge essential to our future as a vital partner in teaching and research at Amherst College.
