Abstract
Keyword guide to around one hundred important concepts reflecting economic, social, and cultural changes in higher education, designed as the second of two open access downloadable resources accompanying the book, The Social Future of Academic Libraries: New Perspectives on Communities, Networks, and Engagement (Facet Publishing, 2022). Pressures inside and outside the sector have forced higher education institutions to reconsider their roles and contributions to the economy and society amid expectations of competing in global markets and collaborating with local communities to fulfil their research and teaching missions. Institutions have expanded and diversified their activities, and adopted new policies and practices, which have given libraries opportunities to extend their support of learning and research upstream and downstream beyond the campus and become better integrated in the lives and work of students and faculty. Definitions of terms are taken directly from academic and professional literature using the words and phrases of their originators (authors or translators) to explain meanings and bring out nuances that differentiate alternative interpretations of the same concept. Includes cross-references and notes for related terms and variant terminology. The supporting list of 144 citations provides a select bibliography of classic and contemporary writing on the concepts and practices referenced.
