Abstract
The academic libraries of the future project (LotF) has developed three scenarios which describe possible futures for teaching, academic and research libraries in the UK at some point beyond 2020, particularly in the context of the changing academic and technological landscape. The scenarios will help Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and other organisations look at the challenges faced from a fresh perspective and help them formulate strategies to ensure the sector continues to be a leading global force.
