Abstract: Academic libraries currently operate within and contribute to a rapidly changing \nenvironment. Being aware of what is changing and ensuring that libraries can continue to \nplay a useful role in higher education (HE) is a profound ongoing challenge. This report aims \nto help in addressing that challenge. It considers library futures over the next decade, a \nformidable but important undertaking. \nWe have based our analysis on a mixed-methods research project involving a review of \nthe literature, in-depth interviews with a range of stakeholders both within and beyond the \nlibrary community, and a survey of library staff. We report our indings as well as providing \nrelection on their implications for libraries and their future.
