  • The Library Is Dead, Long Live the Library! The Practice of Academic Librarianship and the Digital Revolution Ross, Lyman Sennyey, Pongracz Academic Libraries Electronic Libraries Information Technology Library Administration Library Services As a direct consequence of the digital revolution, academic libraries today face competition as information providers.

The authors challenge these assumptions, and analyze the manner in which digital communications affect academic libraries.
