Academic libraries reimagined?

A blog post I'd recommend as much for the thoughtful dicussion in the comments as the original post is:
Fister, Barbara. (2016, July 26). David Lewis’s Library Reimagined. Library Babel Fish. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/library-babel-fish/david-lewis%E2%80%99s-library-reimagined
This gives a short review of/ commentary on Lewis' book and the comments pick up on some important themes, in particular the issues raised by Laura S's comment "I'm a bit uncomfortable with framing our entire future around creating "products" focused on our patron's efficiency at work".
