The Chronicle recently published a piece discussing the effects of corporatization on academic libraries, which can have wide-ranging effects on undergraduate, graduate, and other scholarly research.

About the Blog

I am a former adjunct professor with a doctoral degree in English. I taught at large research-I universities as well as a small, private liberal arts university (my undergraduate alma mater, in fact). After five years of adjuncting, I left academia to become a university program coordinator, and now I am a writing consultant and tutor. This blog began in January 2009 as a forum for students and interested parties to discuss assigned readings and ongoing debates for a first-year seminar entitled "The University: Past, Present, Future." The course ended in May 2009, but as the former instructor of the class and someone who continues to think, care, discuss, and research about academic issues even after leaving the fold, I will continue to post links and responses to issues pertaining to higher education. Comments are currently open; I'd love to hear your thoughts!
