Research libraries’ aim to lead the collaborative development of academic information infrastructures to enhance learning, teaching, research, and creativity. To this end, one of the critical goals has been integrating digital assets (and surrogates for traditional content) in daily practices and work flows of researchers and students. During the last decade, our service context has changed substantially, requiring us to reconsider the integration goal in terms of affordances provided by the new information and communication technologies. Ms. Rieger’s goal is to review some of the emerging technologies as well as associated user expectations and behavior and consider potential impact on integrating digital assets in learning and research environments.
