the academic library -become a learning space?

I find it interesting that I rarely see library blog postings that reference academic journal articles.
Also, despite all the social bookmarking buzz, I rarely see someone else's bookmarks cited as a posting source.

Scott Bennett has written an article "The Choice for Learning"
The Journal of Academic Librarianship
Volume 32, Issue 1, January, 2006, Pages 3-13

It presents an argument for the library as physical space.

We are building conventional library space without making the paradigm shift our digital environment requires. The chief obstacles to change lie in our conception of readers as information consumers, in our allegiance to library operations as the drivers of library design, and in the choice made between foundational and non-foundational views of knowledge. We have the choice of focusing on the delivery of electronic information and abandoning many of our claims on physical space or of designing library space for learning.
