Assumption: Our Autonomy “It is clear that the current unit of analysis - the (individual) library - cannot survive in the existing environment. Leveraging is clearly called for...at the largest system-level possible. While associations of campuses, consortia, and other groupings will alleviate the problem, the best solution is found when no system or national boundaries are limiting factors.”

Assumption: Scientific Communication The Art and Practice of Scholarship The Challenge to Experiment “Perhaps the only prediction that can be made with confidence is that [scientific] publishing is in the early part of a turbulent era unlike anything it has experienced since the invention of movable type. The turbulence is not likely to abate soon, for technological innovation will suggest alternative ways of doing things. Which innovations will be adopted or adapted probably depends on how well they fit established academic ways, and on such factors as cost, ease of use, retrievability of information, and durability of storage... On such matters, there is simply not yet enough experience.”
Assumption: Changing User Behavior • Information Improvisation • Seamless movement between recreation and work • Prompt Gratification • Alternation between linear and radial pathways • Insufficient attention to structural differences SUSTAINED STUDY NEEDED
