<DIV class=content><B>Description</B><BR>Academic libraries are being
literally reinvented: buildings, collections, personnel, organizations, a new
generation of computerization - even who and where their clients are is
changing. These essays are by leading academic library "recreators." Richard
De Genarro talks about The Library as a State of Mind; Clifford Lynch reveals
how he is Recomputerizing Libraries; James Rettig describes Buildings That
Help, Not Hinder; Esther Grassian defines Librarian Teachers; Ilene Rockman
shares strategies for Reaching the Remote user; Joseph Boisse characterizes
The Truly Diverse Clientele; and others address a spectrum of issues ranging
from academic to electronic collections. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></SPAN></o:p>

class=171471815-15102008><STRONG>From Library Journal<BR></STRONG>A conference
held at Harvard in March 1996, "Finding Common Ground" addressed anxieties
over the future of libraries, "virtual" and otherwise. Editors LaGuardia
(coordinator, Electronic Teaching Center, Harvard College Library, and LJ
columnist) and Mitchell (head of access services, Widener Library, Harvard
College) helped plan the conference and have sorted the numerous papers into
six topical sections focusing on technology, service to library users, support
for scholarly research, economic issues, organization of information, and the
library organizational structure. Collections of conference proceedings are
often uneven; this publication is no exception, featuring several high-quality
papers among a number of less engaging efforts. (Undoubtedly, all of the
contributions would have been more effective at the event itself.) All of the
papers pertain almost exclusively to academic or research libraries. The
unquestionable high point is Clifford Lynch's insightful keynote address,
which ought to be read by librarians both in and out of academe. Most of the
remaining works recount findings from studies or experiences at the
presenters' institutions, occasionally lapsing into excessive detail. Academic
librarians and library and information science scholars will not likely read
the work from cover to cover but will find a good number of the papers worth
their time and attention.<BR><BR><B>Description</B><BR>Here is an exploration
of reasonable, cost-possible ways to develop the libraries of tomorrow. Over
50 articles by top thinkers including Clifford Lynch, Walt Crawford, Margo
Crist, James Rettig, and Maureen Sullivan, cover such topics as redefining the
future of reference services; government information in the 21st Century;
integrating technology and information skills across the curriculum;
developing new electronic services; cataloging digital libraries; and
migrating an information system to the World Wide Web.
