The 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"The lecture and online transmission of rapidly outdated content will continue to give way to a focus on the qualities required by students for employability and lifelong learning.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...

Well, we know where Sir Humphrey retired to...
*g* Sure sounds like it, doesn't it?

The previous sentence to this includes the word 'massification', which sounds like something a hip hop artist would say. Librarians aren't known for their rapping skills :S

'massification'

That's a word? Is that like 'amassment'? *checks dictionary.com* Interestingly dictionary.com recognizes 'demassification', but not 'massification'. But LJ's spell-check knows it, huh.
