Service Turn“Defining distinctive services with the clarity with which we have defined distinctive collections allows us to acknowledge that the 21st century will be marked by different, but equally valid, definitions of excellence in academic libraries, and that the manner in which individual libraries demonstrate excellence will be distinctive to the service needs, and to the opportunities to address those needs, found on each campus.”
Scott Walter. “Distinctive Signifiers of Excellence”: Library Services and the Future of the Academic Library. Coll. & res. libr. January

• Its not about the books
• We need to choose: the building or the communities ?
• A degree does not define us
