- U.S. Academic Libraries: A Snapshot of Priorities & Perspectives Library Personnel Electronic Mail Academic Libraries Public Libraries Librarians Web Sites Electronic Publishing This new report details findings from a study OCLC conducted with libraries in mid-2011 to learn about their priorities, initiatives, thoughts on the future of their service points and the sources they use to keep up with developments in the library field. Most academic library staff: (1) Consider licensed e-collections to be a top priority; (2) Are focusing on e-books, other e-resources and discovery tools as top current initiatives; (3) Believe their current library location structure will be the same in five years; and (4) Rely mostly on listservs and email to stay current--a few use social media. Nearly 2,000 academic library staff including directors, managers and librarians participated in the study.
