We pondered this question as we read the subtitle of this year’s Brick and Click Libraries Symposium—“The Shape of Tomorrow.” We decided to begin, not with what others are predicting, but with what librarians are saying about the future of our professional roles and environment. The 2001 Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) “Focus on the Future Task Force” was charged “[t]o develop and implement a plan for keeping ACRL’s collective eyes on the big picture and emerging trends” (American Library Association). W. Lee Hisle, a member of the task force, published a list of issues that were “most often expressed” by more than 300 librarians who aided the group in identifying important issues. These issues include: ¨ “[R]ecruitment, education, and retention of librarians”; ¨ Role of the library in academic institutions; ¨ Technology’s impact on academic library services; ¨ “Creation, control, and preservation of digital resources”; ¨ “Chaos in scholarly communication”; ¨ Services for distance education initiatives and online students; ¨ Public understanding of copyright and plagiarism; ¨ Crisis in funding for higher education (Hisle). Other authors agree with and expand the issues listed above. The Syracuse University School of Information Studies maintains a career site for librarians. The site includes job descriptions for a variety of librarian specialties, including academic librarians. Highlighted areas of “impetus for change” include: ¨ Ways in which the technology is changing information “storage and delivery”; ¨ Demands generated by off-site students participating in distance and distributed education; ¨ Expanding paraprofessional roles in areas once “solely the function of professional librarians”; ¨ Formatting bibliographic instruction in such a way that it appeals to the learning styles and preferences of the current college student population
