Sourcing options Deep resource sharing Develop horizontal shared services – remove redundancies and build capacity Institutional Enterprise systems Research and learning infrastructure Cultural institutions Jurisdictional California Digital Library DEFF JISC, SURF Third party Consortial Vendor
33
Issues Vertical structures entrenched – within and between institutions Shared services framework not institutionalized. At what level are things done? New processes not well enough defined (ERM, IR, …) Third party services underdeveloped Lack of architecture/business model Project mentality

The network is inside 3 A flatter world 1.Web services: functional components on the network 2.Modularize and specialize 3.Simplify and customize 4.Supports remixing services.
35
Examples Connect discovery environments to backend library systems Interact with registries of services Make functionality available in multiple applications

It must change The network is inside The library has to co-evolve with changing research and learning behaviors. The impact of technology on research and learning is more telling than its impact on the library itself. Flexible responses are important.
