No Brief Candle: Reconceiving Research Libraries for the 21st Century, Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), Pub 142, August 2008.
Abstract: "In February 2008, CLIR convened 25 leading librarians, publishers, faculty members, and information technology specialists to consider this question. Participants discussed the challenges and opportunities that libraries are likely to face in the next five to ten years, and how changes in scholarly communication will affect the future library. Essays by eight of the participants – Paul Courant, Andrew Dillon, Rick Luce, Stephen Nichols, Daphn�e Rentfrow, Abby Smith, Kate Wittenberg, and Lee Zia – were circulated to participants in advance and provided background for the conversation. This report contains these background essays as well as a summary of the meeting. "

Ithaka's 2006 Studies of Key Stakeholders in the Digital Transformation in Higher Education, Ross Housewright, Roger Schonfeld, ITHAKA, August 18, 2008 .
From the Introduction to the paper: "For libraries in particular, a deep understanding of the information needs of a scholarly community and how existing services mesh with these needs is essential in order to effectively serve and remain relevant on the modern campus. To succeed in the internet age, libraries must be aware of which traditional roles are no longer needed and which potential roles would be valued, and strategically shift their service offerings to maximize their value to local users. We hope that this document, describing the findings of two large-scale surveys conducted in 2006, will help librarians and others interested in scholarship in the digital world think about these changing needs and prompt consideration of how to best serve faculty in a rapidly changing world. "
