Recreating the Academic Library

Academic libraries are being reinvented: buildings, collections, personnel, organizations, a new generation of computerization - even who and where their clients are is changing. This collection of essays is by 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.
