There's a report that came out late last year which may be of interest
to readers of CNI-Announce. Stephen Pinfield and his colleagues
prepared a report titled "Mapping the Future of Academic Libraries" for
the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) in
the UK. This was done largely by speaking to a wide range of people and
they attempting to synthesize common trends in the results, and I think
that their report does a particularly good job of showing the complex,
frequently conflicting, trends and the diversity of option that they
discovered.

The report can be found at

With best wishes for the New Year

Full Disclosure: I was among the many people that they spoke to in the
preparation of this report.
