Right here with meStudents “talk” through homework with their handheld devices, which issue alerts when passing a bookstore with material they need to cite. Scanning the title page, this information is instantly embedded in proper citation style with an added endnote. Checking in on location-based services, students locate study team members and hold impromptu meetings without the need for study rooms. Their devices have whiteboards and can share notes with absent members. http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/issues/value/futures2025.pdf

The academic library - at the “heart” of the modern university
• Access : virtual and physical access to services, wherever the customer may be
• Support : the information and support customers need to achieve their objectives
• People-focus : working out with customers what they need and then providing it
• Personalised service : the services they require, whatever their needs
• Responsive service : always listening to the users
• Dynamic service : flexible, adaptable to changehttp://www.bl.uk/aboutus/acrossuk/workpub/laser/index.html - Laser Foundation
