Lewis, "Inventing the Electronic University," College & Research Libraries 49 (July 1988): 291-304.00100870https://hdl.handle.net/1805/371Higher education is confronting a fundamental change. The transition from print on paper to digital and electronic technolgies is transforming instruction, scholarly communication, and the storage and preservation of knowledge. What is required is not the automation of old sytems, but the restructuring of institutions. The drive for autonomy, needed for effective scholarship, and the push for standardization, needed to assure easy and open access to information, will create conflicts difficult to resolve. Universities must find new ways of funding and financing information services and new staffing patterns if they are to continue as effective learning and research institutions.1534223 bytesapplication/pdfen-USCommunication in learning and scholarshipDigital librariesEducation, Higher -- Effect of technological onInformation technologyArticle
