The document summarizes the evolution of information in academic libraries over time from 1960 to present day. It shows how libraries transitioned from primarily physical collections that needed to be accessed on-site, to digital collections and online resources that could be accessed remotely. Key transitions included the shift from print to electronic journals and books, the development of search tools to access online catalogs and databases, and the growth of institutional repositories and access to information in the cloud. The role of libraries changed from storing and organizing local physical collections to providing access to vast amounts of digital content both subscribed and open access.
