The ACRL Research, Planning and Review

creating and updating a continuous and

dynamic environmental scan for the association

that encompasses trends in academic

librarianship, higher education, and the

broader environment. As a part of this effort,

the committee develops a list of the top ten

now and in the near future. This list was

compiled based on an extensive review of

current literature
