Libraries as Life-Systems: Information, Entropy, and Coevolution on Campus.

Weiskel, Timothy C.

College and Research Libraries, v47 n6 p545-63 Nov 1986

University librarians will need to design environments for storing and retrieving these new types of information that will continue to nurture the life of the mind and support scholarship.
