Al Willis's response also resonated with a column I read in the Boston Globe
yesterday, which offers a slightly different slant. In "Architect of
Learning: The reinvention of the college library," columnist Sam Allis
discusses the future of academic libraries with architect Geoffrey Freeman.
From the article:
"Great research universities like Harvard must maintain their huge
collections at large expense because those resources define them. Not so
small liberal arts colleges."
You can read the entire column online free through today (Monday) at
