Just wanted to thank Thomas Krichel for mentioning this.
Daniel Greenstein is a former director of the California Digital Library, and a former director of the Digital Library Federation. He's not some clueless administrator who wandered in off the streets to share his thoughts on the future of academic libraries.
Which, I suppose, makes his vision of the future of academic libraries a little bit scarier...he has a library background.

Have you checked out his CV? I met him when he was involved with
the JISC in its eLib program in the 90s. His digital library
experienc probably trumps the one most of the members of this
list. He must be taken serious.
