2 3 ages 1.Resource sharing and cataloging 2.A&I and e-journals 3.Move to the network level:  Consolidation around network platforms..

3 Moving to the network level Storage Amazon S3 Computation Sun Grid Application Salesforce.com Data Refworks Shared cataloging JSTOR Google

4 Some context for a beginning

5 Robin Murray

6 Synthesise, Local CSUSM, David Walker

7 Synthesise, network

8 Specialize, Local

9 Mobilize, Local

10  ‘2 clicks to full-text’  Integrate ‘find articles’ service with other services  ‘Variety of pathways’  Metasearch appropriate databases from course pages Innovative Uses of Metasearch: Rethinking Metasearch for a Better User Experience David Lindahl & Jeff Suszczynski, U Rochester Looking to synthesize, specialize, mobilize

11 Library service landscape

14 URL is the currency of the web

15 The library and the library network Impact Systemwide efficiencies Cat/Resource sharing Journal lit

16 The long tail Impact? Systemwide efficiences Aggregation of supply Unified discovery Low transaction costs Aggregation of demand Synthesize-specialize-mobilize

17 Libraries and the long tail dynamic Aggregate supply?  1.7% of circulations are ILLs  (60% of aggregate G5 collection owned by one library only) Aggregate demand?  20% of collection accounted for 90% of use  (2 research libraries over ~4 years) Each reader his/her book Each book its reader

18 Collaboratively sourced approaches Libraries Australia CRL Ithaka OCLC RLG DEF OhioLink Summit California digital library JISC Pines Google Scholar

19 At what level?

20  Space and Consumer environments  Collections  Discovery to delivery  Business intelligence

21 Space & consumer environments

24 OCLC adaptation of Liz Lyon

25 Database > website > workflow Prefabricated (e.g. CMS) Self assembled digital identity

26 Gather – create - share Raymond Yee URL is the currency

27 Conversation and evidence Mobilize the edge of user contribution Mobilize resources in user spaces Integrity and authenticity Versioning Citing

28 pentags

29 Collections

30 highlow high stewardship uniqueness Books Journals Newspapers Gov. docs CD, DVD Maps Scores Special collections Rare books Local/Historical newspapers Local history materials Archives & Manuscripts, Theses & dissertations Research and learning materials ePrints/tech reports Learning objects Courseware E-portfolios Research data Freely-accessible web resources Open source software Newsgroup archives uniqueness

31 Print books  Preservation turn: Cost of management and preservation of print collection?  Mass digitisation: converting sharable materials to licensable materials?  Mass digitization and off-site storage present similar issues: selection and shared capacity move to network level?

32 Licensed resources  Libraries have selected from a published resource: scholarly record.  A global knowledge base?  Complete digital and print runs – at what level?  Growing interest in audio, video, …  Mobilize: Gather, create, share?

33 Digitized special collections  Relevance to local research and learning needs? Primary materials.  Specialise: support the curriculum/research needs  Mobilize: integration with learning materials  Aggregation and higher level services … at what level?

34 Web  Harvest and curate  Integrity: Versioning and citation  State/government docs/websites  Specialize:  Collect websites for a particular course

35 Institutional research and learning outputs  Differently motivated (coordinated asset management, scholarly communications, reputation management, disclosure, preservation,..)  Domain specialties (high acronymic density)  Diversity: big data, e-portfolios, learning materials, …  Special collections of the future?  New institutional content: podcasts, TV, Blog/Wiki record, …

36 Collections Outside in: traditional Inside out: new challenge

37 Discovery to delivery

38 Use Request Locate Discover Deliver Example: aggregate supply: transaction costs Each arrow is a potential added cost: In terms of attention or technical, policy, business or service gaps. Amazon? Google?

39 Synthesise discovery  Metasearch  Consolidation? Specialize discovery? Synthesize and specialize location  Service router = resolution

40

41 Locked within end to end systems where the ends are in the wrong places! Fragmentation: major discovery ad transaction costs Losing the competition for attention.

42 Business intelligence

43 Measurement  Assessment  Marketing  Reflexive product adaptation

44 Business intelligence To think about: Consolidated holdings? Consolidated usage data? Consolidated circ data? Consolidated resolution data? Consolidated download data? ….

45 Moving to the network level

46 From vertical integration …

47 … to collaboratively sourced approaches Libraries Australia CRL Ithaka OCLC RLG DEF OhioLink Orbis Cascade Alliance California digital library JISC Google Scholar

48 At what level:  Institutional (single, California Digital Library)  Regional/State (OhioLink, Pines, Orbis Cascade Alliance)  National (JISC, DEFF, Libraries Australia, …)  International (Google Scholar, worldcat, JStor)

49 Multilevel approach to … Collections  Shared offsite storage  Aggregate and analyse digital collections  Institutional repository  Digital storage and preservation Social and consumer environments  Social networking services: tagging, reviews, recommendations  Share mobilizing approaches  Virtual reference D2D  Consolidated discovery  Knowledge base  Resolution - Service routing – fulfilment Business intelligence  Synthesize and mobilize shared usage data  Recommendation, management decisions  Digitization and offsite storage

50 A new resource sharing … Uncertainty The collective collection Service development  Concentrate expertise and share outputs  E.g. developing specialized and mobilizing services Bank  Access to materials, innovation, … Share everything … a pattern for more efficiently allocating resources within bigger units

51 Find the right level to … Collectively strategise Collectively specify Collaboratively source  Solutions  Products Synthesise-specialise-mobilize
