This group of academic Deans/University Libns and AULS met for the 3rd time last year, and then refined their "provocative statements" on the future of libraries, and just posted them here: http://taigaforumprovocativestatements.blogspot.com/ . (Their past statements have been off, correct, semi-correct, I'd say.) Here are the new statements themselves, there is more info on the blog. These are predicted for 5 years hence: 1. organizational structures flatten 2. radical cooperation 3. collaborative space partners 4. books as decor 5. no more collection building 6. new model of liaison librarianship 7. staff reallocation, elimination, and retraining 8. library in the cloud 9. boutique services 10. oversupply of MLSs -- Sara R.
