Video Interview: “The Rapid Pace Of Change in Research University Libraries: An Interview With Keith Webster”

From a Text Introduction to the Video Interview by Rebecca Bryant, Senior Program Officer, OCLC Research:

Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries and Director of Emerging and Integrative Media Initiatives at Carnegie Mellon University.

We discussed how academic libraries have changed in the last two decades, reflecting on the growth of digital content and the rapidly evolving scholarly record. I also asked Keith to imagine the research library of the future and to share where his own library is heading in the near term, with investments in multi-purpose repositories, RIM systems, and increasing support for research analytics and institutional reputation management.
