Where is Higher Education headed? Expansion? Contraction? Maybe a little of both? What are the things keeping college presidents up at night? That was the premise behind University Business’s interview with 30 Higher Education thought leaders. This easy read identifies the thought leader, and their very short description of a trend. Skim it now….

One common trend was the idea of remote learning. This is the idea of online classes and/or some students taking classes remotely and not in a traditional classroom. How will Academic Libraries evolve to serve these students? Some are already serving remote students with a robust website and online content. While others have decided to position themselves in the hands-on, in-person niche. Regardless of which type of student you serve, ensuring access to the materials they need will always be important!
