Journal as a "mover & shaker." The special issue featured
people who are shaping the future of libraries, citing Hoon as blazing
new paths for academic libraries. Of her position at NC State, she says,
"My work here at NC State has been particularly rewarding because
of the keen interest this library, as well as this campus-from its faculty
to its highest level of administrators-has shown in the issues surrounding
problems in the scholarly communications system." Regarding the role
of libraries in working with the academic community, Ms. Hoon says, "Libraries
are the very physical expression of the term 'scholarly communication." |
