Industry Reviews

'The reader is guided by an impressive group of experts through topics as wide ranging as staffing, space development, evaluation and the student voice - looking at each under the spotlight of the fast changing digital environment. With such a diverse range of authors it isn't surprising that views range from gradual evolution to the biggest revolution since the invention of the printing press - but there's something here for anyone interested in the future of university libraries,' Maxine Melling, Director of Library and Student Support, Liverpool John Moores University, UK '... the book is useful in affirming the skills of academic librarians and pointing to a wide range of development opportunities offered by advances in scholarly communication.' Library Review 'This is a good overview of recent digital developments and impacts upon libraries, tempered by a rapidly changing environment.' Australian Academic and Research Libraries 'I would recommend this book to be read by all academic librarians and in general library specialists.' Information Research
