- Summary:
- Academic libraries occupy a central position on campus, literally and figuratively. For scholars and students, they serve as an essential gateway to knowledge. For publishers, they have been both a partner and a shaper of debates over copyright, censorship, and free and open access to information. For the campus and community, they are a place to connect. The 2010s and early 2020s have seen enormous upheaval for libraries and librarians, and the ways they've adapted to such changes point to larger lessons about how colleges and universities can transform, too.
