4. RANKIN IN WORLDCAT IDENTITIES Interlude

7. End User Access Management Digitised/ Digital Bought/ Physical Elctronic/ Licensed Special colls/ Archives Management Overview

8. WEB 2.0 Part one

14. Then: Users built workflow around libraries Now: Library must build services around user workflow Discovery happens elsewhere Disclosure

25. Facebook Google

27. Facebook LibraryThing

28. So … Concentration Aggregation of data at the network level – Descriptive – Mining the clickstream: “Database of intentions” – Social Network effects Diffusion Syndication to many destinations – A feed based universe – Data – APIs – Widgets Mobilization in user workflows Encourage social participation

29. LIBRARY SYSTEMS Part two

30. User environment Library & Network Resource Management environment End User Access Management Digitised/ Digital Bought / Physical Electronic/ Licensed Special colls/ Archives Management

31. User environment Library & Network Resource Management environment End User Access Management Digitised/ Digital Bought / Physical Electronic/ Licensed Special colls/ Archives Management Find It Get It Manage It Metadata Content

33. Network level – website - workflow Difficult to ‘mobilize’ library resource into workflows A thin layer around complex legacy systems Stuck in the middle Concentration Diffusion Low gravitational pull? Little social dynamic Limited usage data

34. ‘Monolithic fragmentation’ Move to ‘concentrate’ at local level – Single search environments Move to ‘diffuse’ at local level – RSS, APIs, …. But … – Have to manage presence at the local, group and global level

35. SYSTEMWIDE ATTENTION Part three

36. Remember …. I WAS ASKED TO BE PROVOCATIVE ….

37. Put another way... “It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” —W. Edwards Deming

38. A historic note: the good old days Move to group and global 1.Cataloging and resource sharing 2.A&I databases and electronic journals 3.Logic of network environment suggests moving more …. Historic central actors British Library Document Supply Centre JISC ‘group’ structures less well developed in UK than elsewhere.

39. Network level services are heavily used, and in many cases are the first port of call for library users Increasing opportunities to build shared capacity, remove unhelpful redundancy, and aggregate data (cf government shared services agenda). Release time and resource to support specific learning and teaching needs of institution. Disclose resources into group and network level services.

40. … WITH VARYING DEGREES OF PLAUSIBILITY … So:

41. Group Data? Knowledge base Aggregate usage data – Resolver data – Download data – Database usage data – Circulation –…–… Shared catalog (cf OhioLink) Syndicate to global (e.g. Google Scholar and union catalogues) Switch to local for fulfilment Applications? Repository Search – Institutional search (Primo, WC Local, etc) – Metasearch – Catalogue ILS???? – Network effects: e.g. circulation and recommendation – Shared selection – CIRC <> resource sharing

42. Group The collective collection? Competition for space and ongoing cost a concern Legacy print collections (cf UK RR) – Storage – Preservation – Access Physical delivery architecture The collective collection? Managing a licensed collection – Ebooks – Journals – Preservation – Access models

43. Where data aggregation is beneficial More effective exposure in a web scale site (metadata) To attract users and social engagement Avoid redundant data management (suppliers details, supplier suggestions) Collective knowledge - tasks less complicated or more accurate (serial prediction) New knowledge via deduction or mining (holdings count indicating rareness and popularity, supplier performance, enriched name metadata) Most effective management of links and imported enriched data Comparison of collections; facilitating the management of the collective collection

44. Global Discovery Registry (of institutions, services, collections) Electronic delivery architecture

45. Local Interpretation of specific research and learning needs of institution Intersection of research/learning and information management Reputation management Disclosure to group and global levels Funding

46. Management models Collaboratively sourced Centrally provided Third parties
