| Popis: | Thank you for inviting me to address the Art Libraries Society of North America on the impact of the digital revolution on teaching and learning. As we focus tonight on the funda mental role that research libraries can play in the transformation that is upon us, I have a special respect for you, the ARLIS/NA membership, for your particular skills and your contributions to librarianship. Having lived on this planet for some sixty years, and having served universities for twenty-five of those as a dean or vice provost, Tve developed a sense of possibility, and of limitation. And in my time as an administrator, Tve learned that no vice provost or dean commands the subject matter, sees the trends, or intuits the issues that impact any academic discipline nearly as well as the faculty or staff who are daily engaged in teaching and learning that subject matter. To make this hour useful to you, I felt that I should share with you some of the challenges and opportunities in a time of rampant change, change brought about at least in part by the impact of the digital revolution upon teaching, learning, and research. I intend to stay on familiar ground. My office does not entitle me to intrude upon your specialized area of knowledge. Rather, I decided to engage you from my perspective as an administrator at one of America's larger research universities, the University of Texas at Austin. I will tell you what I have in mind. |
