“Academic
Libraries – Changing the Context for Scholarship”

Abstract: Academic libraries are vibrant, crowded
and lively, even as they deliver more of their content
to the desktop. Forecast to wither away, they have instead
used digital technology to reassert their place at the
heart of the campus.
Bio: Nancy Davenport, the President of the Council on
Library and Information Resources, will discuss the changing
roles of the academic library on the campuses of research
universities and liberal arts colleges. Davenport, an
MLS graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, was the
Director of Acquisitions at the Library of Congress prior
to assuming the leadership of CLIR. Her previous work
includes posts as the Associate Director of the Congressional
Research Service and a six year assignment working with
the developing democratic parliaments of Central and
Eastern Europe. She serves on the Board of the National
Information Standards Organization and the US National
Committee for UNESCO, and was recently named a fellow
of the Louis Round Wilson Academy.
