29. “T ODAY ’ S LIBRARY STAFF … … must include people who see themselves as active contenders in a race for relevance, regard, and resources. Some of its members must have strong technical skills and an ability to identify specific areas in which technology can advance the institution in fulfilling its academic mission. Library staff must be capable of working effectively in partnership with faculty members to enhance the strength of teaching and research. … Library staffs in general must become more agile, more highly attuned to, and more aggressive in proclaiming just how different the world of knowledge has already become.” — “Changing Roles of Academic and Research Libraries” ACRL Tech Summit (November 2006) :: BECS ::29HSU
