Video: "Reinventing the Research Library: The MIT Libraries in the 21st Century"

This video was made available on February 28, 2011 via MIT TechTV. It runs close to nine minutes.

The essential role of MIT’s libraries in supporting research, teaching, and student life at MIT continues to evolve. How do the Libraries meet the needs of the MIT community “wherever and whenever” they need library resources? This video looks at how the MIT Libraries are expanding beyond their traditional role to shape the research library of the 21st century –creating innovative services, reaching out to students and faculty, and leading efforts to increase global access to MIT’s scholarly work.
