A Vision for the Future: New Roles for Academic Librarians
No full textAcademic library leaders have long acknowledged the need for the library to transform itself in order to meet the needs of the 21st century University. The transformation implies a major change in form and function, suggesting that library organizational structures and functions will change along with how professional librarians conduct the work of the library. Today, academic librarianship is overburdened and preoccupied with attending to the details of providing traditional services to students and faculty. For library leaders and librarians it is a time for independent thinking, innovation, and the courage to undertake risk and embrace major change. Library professionals will not only look forward but, according to John M. Budd, will also need to step back and examine the profession – “purpose, ethos and the world we live in.” In the end, courageous leadership and management will be required, as Jordan M. Scepanski affirms, “to abandon what has worked and often worked well, to strike off on a new and perhaps perilous course.”Peer reviewe

Review of “Jurisdictional” Issues Under the Bumpers Amendment
No full textThe proposed Bumpers Amendment to the Administrative Procedure Act would encourage courts to be less deferential than they have previously been toward federal agencies\u27 views on issues of law. With regard to jurisdictional questions, the amendment would go further: it would invite courts not only to assert their independence, but also to disfavor agencies\u27 positions. Professor Levin regards this special rule of construction for jurisdictional questions as an attempt to achieve deregulation through judicial review. He criticizes this strategy as poorly conceived and calls attention to several weaknesses in the draftsmanship of the jurisdiction provision
