6. Questions for further exploration
• When will our libraries really be digital? What will it take to
get there?
• What are continuing space needs given increased
collaborative study, more digitization, license restrictions,
etc?
• What are the needs of incoming health science students,
and faculty? How do we keep up?
• Do different types of students have different study and
learning styles and needs? Can one library accommodate
them all?
• How important is the building to achieving our goals? Our
communities’ goals?
• What other questions do you have??? Go to Slide #9 for a
question form!
