Universities are changing and academic libraries will need to change with them. That is my central idea, as I contemplate academic libraries as centres for supporting student entrepreneurship.
I was searching for a periodical that discussed academic libraries providing support to businesses:
This lead to me to Historic Little Rock: An Illustrated History by C. Fred Williams and in particular page 138. In it, while reading about Arkansas Small Business Development Center at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock I discovered theconcept of metropolitian university. From what Iunderstood from the reading the concept speaks to universities engaging in outreach in its local community.
This concept of the metropolitan university I think I will need to read more about. Hence the book
Metropolitan universities: an emerging model in American higher education by Daniel Milo Johnson and David Arnold Bell might be part of that reading.
However if this model of university extend its resources including its research for the benefit of the local community, then what are the implications for the academic library?
