Abstract

Universities contribute enormously to our society; beyond education they support culture, supply the research that drives our prosperity, archive our human record, and even entertain us on Saturday afternoons. A “core competence” of universities is information–they create it with research, they warehouse it in libraries, and they retail it in both texts and classes. It is reasonable to conjecture, therefore, that further changes in the technology of information processing might affect how universities function. In fact, that has clearly already happened to some degree. Will more occur? How much? What kind? This lecture will not give answers, but rather raise some questions about what further opportunities and challenges may face universities–opportunities and challenges that might have a profound affect on them.
