title: Why we need laboratories for applied research in academic information.
abstract: A common vision for an electronic management environment is emerging. Fundamental to this vision is a radical change in the way that knowledge is captured, stored, manipulated, visualized and accessed. To bring these visions to reality, partnerships need to be formed between authors, publishers, and libraries. Research and development in knowledge management is essential and universities must identify more clearly their roles as knowledge creators and distributors.
