Changing A Cultural Icon

The Distant Librarian today pointed out an interesting article from Educause called "Changing A Cultural Icon: The Academic Library As Virtual Destination" by Jerry D. Campbell. Campbell, who is library dean at UCLA, talks about how libraries have primarily become a virtual destination for most users and discusses issues such as use of physical space, virtual reference, and information literacy instruction.

Another item of interested from DL today: a note about a Kept Up Academic Librarian post on an Educause series called "7 Things You Should Know About..." different emerging learning techniologies. The series includes blogs, IM, collabotative editing, social bookmarking etc. How's that for some metablogging?

Happy weekend!
