Strategy Going Forward

Strategy Going Forward — Context “While predictions of radical change in library and information services are by no means new, a confluence of shifts in technology, changing user demands, and increasing budget pressures are now forcing academic libraries to either adapt or risk obsolescence. The library’s traditional role as a repository for physical books and periodicals is quickly fading, with important implications for space utilization, resource acquisition, and staffing.” Redefining the Academic Library: Managing the Migration to Digital Information Services, Advisory Board Company 2011.

Strategy Going Forward 1.Information Literacy/Research Skills 2.Collections 3.Space 4.Research Support 5.Scholarly Communication
15
1. Information Literacy/Research Skills "Wikipedia is like everything else. It's as reliable as your critical-thinking skills. You're responsible for what you read.” — Justin Knapp
16
Justin Knapp, first Wikipedia editor to reach one million edits
17
1. Information Literacy/Research Skills Finding information on the Web is easy, evaluating it is hard Students, especially beginning students don’t understand scholarship
18
1. Information Literacy/Research Skills Strategies Continue significant engagement with beginning students, work on digital learning tools Increase engagement with upper level students Demonstrate connection between information/research skills and persistence and academic success
19
2. Collections Changing approaches to collections will be difficult because collections are central to the way we all think about libraries Much library practice and library values have been based on past approaches to collections
21
2. Collections Two drivers of change: 1. Open Access 2. Change from Just-in-Case to Just-in-Time
22
2. Collections Two drivers of change: 1. Open Access — Journals 2. Change from Just-in-Case to Just-in-Time — Books
23
Open Access “Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. OA removes price barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) and permission barriers (most copyright and licensing restrictions).” – Peter Suber Peter Suber, “Open Access Overview,” at: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htmhttp://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm
24
Open Access Open Access is a disruptive innovation (Clayton Christensen) – New technology – New business model – Starts out as an inferior product – Improves over time and its advantages make it dominant – Adoption follows an S-curve not a straight line David W. Lewis, “The Inevitability of Open Access,” forthcoming in College & Research Libraries September 2012. Preprint available at: http://crl.acrl.org/content/early/recenthttp://crl.acrl.org/content/early/recent

26
From January 1, 2012 to August 10, 2012 14,919 Articles Published
27
eLife is a researcher-driven initiative for the very best in science and science communication. We promote rapid, fair, and more constructive review. We will use digital media and open access to increase the influence of published works. We commit to serving authors and advancing careers in science. At eLife, Publishing is just the beginning.
28
If we can set a goal to sequence the human genome for $99... then why not $99 for scholarly publishing? PeerJ is an Open Access publisher of scholarly articles. We aim to drive the costs of publishing down, while improving the overall publishing experience, and providing authors with a publication venue suitable for the 21st Century.
29
Implications of Open Access 1.As more journals become open access, the library will have to pay for fewer journals 2.Escape from the grip of monopolistic publishers 3.Libraries in their role of information providers, won’t be part of the system
30
Just-in-Case to Just-in-Time In a typical research library 50% of the books that are purchased never circulate In the past this made sense as an insurance policy
32
Just-in-Case to Just-in-Time Now nearly any book can be purchased at any time with very quick delivery Why purchase before the user needs an item if you don’t have to? Since past use is the best predictor of future use, books users “select” are likely to get use in the future
33
Print books delivered nearly as quickly as digital files Digital readers nearly as good as print books For what might come next, see: Mike Matas, “A Next-Generation Digital Book,” TED Talk, March 2011. Available at: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/mike_matas.html http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/mike_matas.html
34
Implications of Just-in-Case to Just-in-Time 1.Aggressively work at not buying books that will never be used 2.Book purchases will decline 3.But impact on readers will be minimal 1.Will impact scholarly publishers by reducing revenue, they don’t see this coming
35
2. Collections Strategies 1.Hold journal expenditures constant 2.Move to patron-driven-acquisition for e- books this year for both paper and electronic books 3.Except for some new funding for new programs, the materials budget should be able to remain at current levels
36
3. Space Use of library space by students has increased Use of library services and collections by students has declined The opportunity cost of library collections is high
37
Opportunity Costs of Print Collections $5.00 to $13.10 $28.77 $50.98 to $68.43 Life cycle cost based on 3% discount rate. From Paul N. Courant and Matthew “Buzzy” Nielsen, “On the Cost of Keeping a Book,” in The Idea of Order: Transforming Research Collections for 21st Century Scholarship, CLIR, June 2010, available at: http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub147abst.html http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub147abst.html
38
3. Space Strategies 1.Continue to redevelop library space to create better, more diverse, space for non- classroom academic work 2.Repurpose current stack space for other uses, probably 5K sq. ft. in the next five years 3.Reconfigure library staff spaces as functions change
39
4. Supporting Research Librarian research support — literature searching, etc. Preserving the results of research – Institutional Repository https://scholarworks.iupui.edu/ https://scholarworks.iupui.edu/ – Electronic Theses and Dissertations – NFS Data Mandate

5. Scholarly Communication Need to help faculty and students, especially graduate students, understand and take advantage of new scholarly communications vehicles
43
5. Scholarly Communication Place for advice on rights Advocate for more open scholarly communication
