Report: The University Library

Category: Clippings

From Current Cites (July 2007):

Abbott, Andrew. The University Library (pdf). Chicago: University of Chicago, May 2006. - Agree with this report or not, it offers an invaluable outside-in perspective on current hot-button issues in academic librarianship. Respected scholar Andrew Abbott (author of The System of Professions) produced this “a serious theoretical analysis of library research” for a task force appointed by the provost of the University of Chicago, where Abbott teaches. Abbott offers fresh and often trenchant observations, many backed quite refreshingly by real data, about issues such as use of the university library by undergraduates and faculty, off-site storage, research study rooms, and even the current vogue for building faculty-graduate research centers, which he refers to as “Potemkin Villages” that “exist more as targets for external funding than as physical realities.” - KGS
