Abstract

One way to think of a cybrary is as a smart organizational structure in a smart building. What administrative implications does the creation of a cybrary have for its host university or institution? A cybrary leader needs always to be examining where technology is going, and how it will have an impact on the services the organization provides. The multifaceted features of the cybrary strongly suggest that leadership must come from something beyond a traditional library director position.
