This article provides an overview of these changes and outlines a framework for viewing collections as a service. It describes how libraries have begun to use this framework to move from traditional stand-alone print monograph collections toward a user-centric, just-in-time model that leverages technology and today's networked environment to efficiently connect users with resources. It also includes a discussion of what steps libraries should take to continue this evolution.
