| Abstract: | This report describes the evolution of library roles in terms of the growth of distributed technologies, the development of open paradigms and models, and the emergence of the library as a diffuse agent. The author also explains how the library's roles in the areas of collection development, information access, user services, and the library as place have changed in the digital age. In the final chapter, Ms. Lougee describes the diffuse library as one that "will embody an intimacy of purpose and a full engagement, both with institutional goals and with the practical conduct of learning, teaching, and research." |
