The Archival Research Center is a direct
outgrowth of the belief that primary resource
materials should be a major focal point of
instruction and research. . However, traditional
access to these materials is cumbersome and
labor-intensive and most institutions do not
allow copying. Digitizing these materials keeps
them alive and relevent for modern users (ARL
report)
11
The return of the special
  • There is growing appreciation among libraries
    that unique or rare materials
  • are valuable research and learning resources
  • that they have been underutilized,
  • that digitization offers opportunities for
    releasing their value in new ways.
  • There is a growing interest in digitizing
    cultural heritage materials
  • as a way of disclosing the memory and identity of
    communities.

Research and learning
  • Research and learning behavior is increasingly
    entering the network space
  • Library resources need to be available at the
    appropriate stage within the learning or research
    environment
  • New forms of engagement and support.
  • Research and learning outputs will present major
    management and curatorial issues
  • Institutions and faculty are interested in
    disclosing research and learning materials as
    part of the scholarly enterprise (OAI)

Licensed materials
Like many libraries, the UW Libraries has
struggled with how to effectively and efficiently
manage its growing licensed resources such as
e-journals, AI databases, and full-text
services. We were using a mix of locally
developed and maintained files and databases (in
file cabinets, on our intranet, etc.) to manage
our electronic resources. In a highly distributed
workflow and service provision environment, the
UW Libraries sought a way to integrate this
information with our local system and streamline
our processes.

Resources
  • Licensed
  • D2D
  • Rights and linking
  • Portalization?
  • Visibility and integration
  • Value
  • Streamline management of licenses
  • Long term access
  • Bought
  • D2D
  • New catalog configurations
  • Enhance records
  • Get better management information for resource
    sharing, collection management, collection
    development

26
Wide open web
  • Ongoing interest in mediating access to
    high-quality Internet resources linked to other
    resources and interests of users
  • Multiple local and shared initiatives

  • Manage commodity materials and services - cost.
  • Streamline discovery to delivery for print
    (owned) and digital (licensed) materials
  • Portalization and resource sharing
  • Management intelligence collection management
    and analysis (print collections)
  • Incentive to preserve?
  • Institutional digital content management
  • Immature (diverse metadata creation practice --
    hierarchical description, multiple standards and
    practices, diverse content management approaches)
  • OAI? Shining a light on hidden resources.
  • Extend knowledge organization approaches?
  • Incentive to preserve?

The pattern is new in every moment
  • Different materials call forward different types
    of attention
  • Selection
  • Organization
  • Collection management
  • Securing access
  • Preservation
  • What is a collection?
  • Responsibility to the scholarly record
  • Licensed
  • Below the line
  • Print
  • Fragmentation of knowledge technologies?
  • Knowledge organization topics, places, names,
    educational standards, resource types
  • Identifiers
  • etc
