Academic Libraries issues survey

The Association of College and Research Libraries has issued an updated list of the top issues facing its members. Among them: the increased emphasis on digitizing collections and preserving digital collections, the evolving skill set for academic librarians performing new rules, debates about intellectual property rights, demands for free access by the public to information, and a sense by students that they are “customers” of libraries.
