In these chapters he notes the emphasis on applied research, the impact of vast numbers of federal dollars on the academy, the impact of quantification, the kinds of new faculty development, and the growth of the invisible college, that informal com- munication network that flourishes whether libraries do or do not. cache/crl-13468.pdf txt/crl-13468.txt
