2010 ten trends in academic libraries ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee
• Academic library collection growth is driven by patron demand …• Budget challenges will continue and libraries will evolve as a result.• Changes in higher education will require that librarians possess diverse skill sets.• Demands for accountability and assessment will increase• Digitization of unique library collections will increase and require a larger share of resources.
• Explosive growth of mobile devices and applications will drive new services. Smart phones,
e-book readers, iPads, and other handheld devices will drive user demands and expectations. The 2009 ECAR study of undergraduate students … found that 51.2 % of respondents owned an Internet-capable handheld device and another 11.8 % planned to purchase one within the next 12 months.
• Increased collaboration will expand the role of the library within the institution and beyond• Libraries… continue … to develop scholarly communication and intellectual property services• Technology will continue to change services and required skills.• … library will change as physical space is repurposed and virtual space expands.
