Planning for New Library Service Models
Background
Over the past several years, the service and collection models that defined
excellence in academic libraries throughout the 20th century have been
challenged by new models of scholarly communication, new mechanisms for
licensing and accessing digital content, the introduction of transformative
technologies like the World Wide Web, new methods for teaching and
learning, new approaches to interdisciplinary scholarship and scientific
inquiry, the arrival of a new generation of faculty and students who, as
"digital natives," bring new approaches to information use (and higher
expectations for access to digital services and content), and broad changes
in the higher education environment.
As the University Library works to meet the challenge set by the Provost to design exemplary library
services and collections for the new century, we believe that the best way to make progress toward
our strategic goals, and to provide support for the strategic goals of the University of Illinois, is to
embrace new service models that recognize the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of academic
inquiry, the critical importance of digital information resources, and the opportunities for
collaborative approaches to the provision of library services and collections using information
technology.
