'Point. Click. Matriculate:' (1) Corporate Influence in the University and the Academic Library

摘要

Corporations are playing a growing role in U.S. universities as they increasingly turn to the corporate sector to supplement the budget of the institution. This coming together of the academy and the business world is having an impact on the universities themselves. To the extent that academic libraries mirror their parent bodies, academic librarians must be concerned about the effect that external corporate values will have on their libraries. Intelligent choices for the library of tomorrow will result from a careful understanding of these issues.
