jadesfireThe following is an acutal extract from the abstract of an article with the innocuous name "A window of opportunity: libraries in higher eduction."
"The lecture and online transmission of rapidly outdated content will continue to give way to a focus on the qualities required by students for employability and lifelong learning. Heavier and more diverse workloads on university teachers will encourage the disaggregation of their teaching. This will provide a window of opportunity for academic librarians to demonstrate their educational partnership role. They should contribute proactively to that disaggregation and, as a key accountability, to the development of information literate students."
I think someone swallowed a management-speak dictionary...
