"This book is useful for the advisor or advising administrator who wants further to understand the forces behind change in academia." --NACADA Journal

"This book is a must read for higher education administrators and faculty in any discipline. Beyond distance and life-long learning, it is the actual method of instruction in every discipline that will change worldwide. This book covers both the change in faculty behavior that will be required as well as the emerging organizational structure of the university of the future." -- James B. Appleberry, president, American Association of State Colleges and Universities, Washington, DC

"A brilliant blueprint for entering a new millennium. The authors, already well-established strategic thinkers, offer another critical service to those in the higher education community from trustees to presidents to professors to students. Not only do they ask demanding questions about moving in sensible new strategic directions, they provide answers essential to the very well-being of the academy." -- James R. Collier, vice president, university advancement, and executive director, San Francisco State University Foundation

"Most college and university presidents are becoming acutely aware that technology and the new information age will permanently change the academy. Rowley, Lujan and Dolence have provided a compelling argument that universities must adapt or face atrophy. They provide a blueprint for easing the transition into the information age. They place the changes in historical perspective, provide an update on the new challenges and discuss strategies for effective responses to change. This is a book that forward-looking university presidents will not only want to have displayed prominently on their bookshelves, but it will be the only one they will read, mark and share with others. --?Naomi Lynn, chancellor, University of Illinois, Springfield
