4. Open Science (or Open Scholarship)
Why?
Greater transparency
Better, more efficient science
New discoveries and innovation
Improved impact of science beyond the academia

5. Open Science (or Open Scholarship)
What?
Open access to publications
Research data management
Other research outputs and practices
How?
Advocacy
Services and infrastructure

6. Open Science
Institutions have a critical role to play! -There is a critical role for universities (and their libraries) in supporting the development of sustainable, long term open science means

7. Mapping open science services Some examples:
Traditional services
Open science services
Reference
Advice about how to comply with open science policies
Collection development
Collecting, preserving and providing access to content – repositories and OA journals
Cataloguing
Metadata, data management plans
Information literacy
Educating researchers and students on the issues of open science

9. MIT Future of Libraries Preliminary Report

10. A Vision for MIT Libraries
We are on the cusp of a fundamental transformation of research libraries!
----
“Libraries will no longer be geared primarily to direct readers but instead to content contributors, community curators, text-mining programs, machine-learning algorithms, and visualization tools. The MIT Libraries should operate as an open digital platform, available for all manner of research and development projects emanating from within and beyond MIT.” (pg. 6)

12. The Inside Out Library (OCLC 2013)
Outside in Bought, licensed
Increased consolidation
Move from print to licensed
Manage down print – shared print
Move to user-driven models
Aim: to discover
Inside out
Institutional assets: special collections, research and learning materials, institutional records, … Reputation management Increasingly important? Aim: to *have* discovered … to disclose
Licensed content will dominate in years to come.
Special collections will grow but only modestly (and only at some institutions); mostly growth in managing archival resources including institutional.
Much greater investment in managing research outputs.
No change in web archiving.

13. Research is global!

14. The Networked Library
While part of their success will rely on relevance and usefulness for their local institutions, from a global perspective few individual libraries are important in and of themselves. However, collectively, they have the potential to offer a comprehensive view of the research of the whole world, while also enabling each scholar and institution to participate in the global network of scientific and scholarly enquiry.”

15. The Networked Library
The full potential of digital content, stored in thousands of libraries around the world, can only reach it’s full potential once they are connected.

16. The Networked Library
What do we need? Standardization – in formats, vocabularies, metadata, functions, policies, services, operations

17. How can we get there from here?

18. Some strategies
Incremental adoption of services at the institution (from ‘soft’ to ‘hard’)
Organizing at the national and/or regional level
Developing and nurturing communities of practice
Cross-stakeholder dialogue
International engagement – connecting your content to the world!

20. Examples: Communities of Practice
