Books and journals and
  • Rich apparatus for discovery, acquisition,
    management is under pressure
  • Multiple electronic resources
  • Catalogs
  • AI databases
  • Journals
  • For the library
  • A headache
  • Improve service
  • Realize value of investment

  • Automate supply chain
  • Manage rights/licenses
  • For the user
  • Ranganathan!
  • What is available?
  • Enhance research and learning experience

7
Special collections
  • Make rich cultural resources available in new
    ways
  • For the library
  • Resourcing
  • A major learning experience
  • No routine
  • Selection
  • Presentation
  • Fragmented
  • For the user

    fulfilment?
  • Can materials be re-used

8
Research and learning

    disclosure of institutional learning and research
    resources
  • Learning
  • Courseware
  • E-reserves
  • Reading lists
  • Research
  • E-prints
  • Data
  • Scholarly communication
  • What is the library role?
  • The diffuse library (Wendy Lougee)

9
Freely available web resources
  • If it is not on the web, does it exist?
  • For the library
  • What is the role?
  • Major redundant effort links
  • Align with other resources
  • For the user
  • The google experience
  • The library promise

10
Above and below the line
  • Below the line
  • Discovery?
  • Shining a light on hidden resources
  • Preservation?
  • The long term costs of digital ownership
  • The digital library
  • Above the line

Organization, service and users

15
Recombinant organization
  • Existing
  • Shared cataloguing
  • Resource sharing
  • Access to journal literature
  • Emerging
  • Tiered catalog access
  • Archiving
  • Collection mapping
  • Collaborative collection assessment,
    consolidation, development
  • Resolution streamlining access to the commodity
    literature
  • Virtual reference
  • Harvesting

16
Issues
  • The value of interoperability
  • Interoperability is recombinant potential
  • Add a database to a search
  • Add a document to a repository
  • Fuse metadata from one repository with another
  • Switch provider of data or system or service
  • Add new service channels
  • The quest for organizational structures and new
    institutional arrangements
  • The need to understand the experience of the user

Library portal
How the library mediates the engagement of users
and resources in a network environment
  • All vogue words tend to share a similar fate
    the more experiences they pretend to make
    transparent, the more they themselves become
    opaque. Zygmunt Bauman

21
Library portal - the problem
  • End user needs to
  • Know what is available
  • Learn multiple interfaces
  • Manually fuse results

22
Library portal approach
Provide intermediate layers between user and
resources. Manage multiple collections.

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Library
- Champaign, IL - 499,440 2002 National
Leadership Grants for Libraries - Research
Demonstration In this three-year research
project, the Library of the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will create a
collection-level registry of digital collections
created with IMLS funding from 1998 to 2005 and
will research, design and implement a prototype
item-level metadata repository service
based on the Open Archives Initiative Metadata
Harvesting Protocol.

Portal functionality provided by ARL libraries
results of an ARL survey April 2002
  • 77 ARL libraries respond
  • 21 have a portal
  • 10 are building one
  • 42 in discussion about a portal
  • 14 not considering one
  • A portal defined as cross-searching plus one
    other supporting service

41
Some aims
  • Wrap a collection of resources in a web
    environment which
  • Saves time for research, learning and personal
    fulfillment
  • Surfaces potentially valuable resources which
    otherwise might be overlooked in the trees
  • Allows users and library to focus on collections
    rather than mechanics of interaction
  • Will increasingly need to interact with other
    environments
  • Learning management, institutional portal
    frameworks,
  • Library portal transitional

42
The engagement with research and learning
43
A whirlwind tour
  • The institutional portal framework
  • Folding information into the learning environment
  • Curatorial attention to research and learning
    resources

Interacting with enterprise
  • Enterprise view
  • Portal envy
  • Portal wars
  • Proliferation of portals
  • YAP (yet another portal)
  • No resource is single focus of a users attention
  • Interaction with other institutional services
    (authentication)
  • A channel in a wider framework

learning
it is likely that a large part of the student
and teacher experience will be managed within a
systems framework which manages the learning
life-cycle and interfaces to multiple systems and
services.
Neil Mclean, pro-vice Chancellor e-learning and
information services, Macquarrie University
54
Perhaps the core lesson for librarians from the
quiet revolution in teaching and learning in
academe is the awareness that most academic
libraries are not ends in themselves, but rather
a means to enhancing teaching and learning. From
this perspective, all future changes in library
goals and objectives, budget and staffing,
strategies and directions, must be in synch with
the university and driven by the values and
visions of the campus for teaching and learning.
.... To be successful in the future, however,
librarians must partner with academic departments
and classroom faculty in ever new and creative
ways as we plan and deliver these library
services to the University community.
Brad Baker, NE Illinois U

Institutional repository curating institutional
intellectual assets
  • Reputation management
  • Interesting interaction between
  • Devolved scholarly authority to contribute to
    discipline
  • Managed university approach to asset and
    reputation management
  • Curatorial responsibility to the intellectual
    record
  • Enrich the discourse of scholarly communication
  • Surface rich resources
  • New opportunities for access, analysis, re-use

63
General repository issues
  • Long term ownership costs unknown
  • Mission critical liabilities
  • Balance between scholarly needs and management
    needs
  • Actuarial perspective
  • Ingestible
  • Secure the value of investment

64
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
  • Research and learning outputs require curatorial
    attention
  • New forms of engagement and support.
  • The impact of technology on libraries is no less
    important than the impact of technology on the
    behaviours of our users. What is very important
    is how we adapt to support those changes.
