Its blend of the historical with contemporary descriptions of the purpose and life of modern universities sets the discussion and analysis of future possibilities well into the socio-political context influencing higher education policy and trends.

The author's knowledge and experience of information and communications technologies is very evident.' - British Journal of Education Technology '[The authors] offer a very well-written, nicely illustrated and exemplified, interesting, and at times provocative, view of the future of higher education, with a pleasing historical look back where appropriate.' - David Bawden, Journal of Documentation <p> Lalita Rajasingham and John Tiffin have brilliantly sketched a philosophical foundation for the future of the university in an era of rapid technological change and globalization....This book is essential reading for students and faculty within existing universities, and for policy makers whose major challenge will be to enable the learned society on a global scale. - Donald E.
