See this Christian Science Monitor article on the CBS News web site about radical changes at the University of Texas undergraduate library. Quoting from the article,

"The UT library is undergoing a radical change, becoming more of a social gathering place more akin to a coffeehouse than a dusty, whisper-filled hall of records. And to make that happen, the undergraduate collection of books had to go."

Is this where academic libraries are headed?
