crln-9212	Bluemle, Stefanie R.; Tracy, Carla B.	The lives of books: Legacy print collections and the learning-centered library	2014	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2685	93	46	Scott Bennett not long ago defined the change in “paradigms” from “book-centered” to “learning-centered” libraries: put simply, as libraries undergo the shift from print to largely digital information, and students no longer need to visit library buildings to obtain many research materials, the purpose of library spaces will change as well to facilitate learning rather than storage of books.5 The problem many academic libraries, in- cluding smaller ones, face is that they are still crowded with their legacy print collections, even as information becomes more and more easily available and students’ learning styles demand better study areas and a variety of academic support systems.6 Very few of these institutions have the resources to construct and staff a proper storage facility. But even more important is the event’s historical moment, a time when an over-abundance of print has crowded college libraries, even as transformations in the delivery of information and undergraduate education itself necessitate reimagining those libraries’ very purpose.	cache/crln-9212.pdf	txt/crln-9212.txt
