contents Academic Libraries' Stance toward the Future Cox, Andrew M. Pinfield, Stephen Rutter, Sophie Academic Libraries Library Development Educational Trends Trend Analysis Librarian Attitudes Futures (of Society) Coping Innovation Library Role Time Perspective The literature about academic libraries takes a strong interest in the future, yet little of it reflects on academic libraries' underlying stance toward the years ahead: is there a sense of change or continuity? Is there optimism or pessimism? Consensus or divergence? This article explores these questions using data from interviews with a broad range of practitioners, commentators, and experts. Some see libraries as fundamentally unchanging, while others perceive innovation as a given. There is little consensus about upcoming trends. Some interviewees doubt libraries' ability to deal with change, but others feel considerable optimism.
