Diffuse Libraries: Emergent Roles for the Research Library in the Digital Age

digital age as they become more deeply engaged in the creation and dissemination 
of knowledge. While some of these roles are extensions of traditional library 
activity, others are largely new. Wendy Lougee, university librarian at the 
University of Minnesota, explores some of these emerging functions in this 
report." 32 pages pdf.
