- The purpose of the Academic Library is to connect the individual scholar to the Academic /Practitioner Conversation on a topic.
- The academic conversation may include the full range of research [Qualitative -Quantitative], opinion, and theoretical works.
- The academic conversation is happening across time, across the world, and across disciplines.
- The conversation may be accessible in many formats - online or in print, including books, reports, magazines, scholarly journals, peer reviewed journals, and grey literature.
- The Academic Library curates [keeps the full text in an accessible format] and indexes the academic conversation [so things can be found again]
