University Environment/Culture
Goal is knowledge . . .
- Acquisition through study and assignment
- Transmission through teaching, reading, study groups
"Traditional" View: Knowledge as Product
- K - 12 and maybe college
- Classroom for teaching and learning
- Library for preservation, organization, and circulation
"Emerging" Environments: Knowledge as Process
- Expectation that it’s Life Long Learning
- Blurring of roles and responsibilities in this new, digitally enhanced communication environment
- Library evolving into “Information Resource Center” with knowledge guides and facilitators
