Academic libraries are being reinvented: buildings, collections, personnel, organizations, a new generation of computerization - even who and where their clients are is changing. This collection of essays is by library recreators. Richard De Genarro talks about The Library as a State of Mind; Clifford Lynch reveals how he is Recomputerizing Libraries; James Rettig describes Buildings That Help, Not Hinder; Esther Grassian defines Librarian Teachers; Ilene Rockman shares strategies for Reaching the Remote User; Joseph Boisse characterizes The Truly Diverse Clientele; and others address a spectrum of issues ranging from academic to electronic collections.
