3. 3  Environment  Scholarly information flow  An example: the catalog

4. Programs and research 4 Environment: The network rewrites behaviors

5. Programs and research 5 A few things….  Workflow and Attention  Aggregation of demand and supply: the long tail

6. Programs and research 6 ~18 months old No FaceBook, MySpace Library?

7. Programs and research 7 University of Minnesota http://www.lib.umn.edu/about/mellon/KM%20JStor%20Presentation.pps

8. Programs and research 8 Database > website > workflow Prefabricated (e.g. CMS) Self assembled digital identity Netvibes, onfolio, my yahoo, myspace, RSS aggregator, … ‘getting things done’

9. Programs and research 9

10. 10 Workflow  Then  Users built workflow around the library  Now  The library must build its services around user workflow Get into the flow Disclose into other environments

11. Programs and research 11 Attention  Then  Resources scarce, attention abundant  Now  Attention scarce, resources abundant Competition for attention

12. Programs and research 12 Long tail information providers Impact? Systemwide efficiences Aggregation of supply Unified discovery Low transaction costs Aggregation of demand Mobilize users Brand Network evolution?

23. Programs and research 23 Discovery: focus on catalog with some related …  Local Discovery Environments  Shared Discovery Environments  Syndicated Discovery Environments  Leveraged Discovery Environments

24. Programs and research 24 Local Discovery environment  Some (not necessarily aligned) motivations  ‘Make data work harder’  Integrate consumer environment  Escape from ILS limitations  NCSU  Rochester  SOLR  Worldcat 2.0  Primo  Encore …

27. Programs and research 27

28. Programs and research 28 Some remarks  Unified?  How does MARC data play with other data  Subjects, authors,..  Historic investment in structure?  Duplicate cost?  Relationship to Metasearch?

29. Programs and research 29 Shared discovery environment  Increase impact  Create gravitational pull  Aggregate demand and supply  Unified discovery  Reduce transaction costs  Reach more users  Stronger brand  Reduce costs

30. Programs and research 30

31. Programs and research 31

32. Programs and research 32 Some comments  Integration of discovery 2 delivery becoming essential  A move to shared environments seems more likely with increased ability to ‘view’ different levels  Increased gravitational pull: greater use of collections  Growing evidence  Discovery at the group ‘network level’

33. Programs and research 33 Syndicated discovery experience  Syndicate data or service or links

39. Programs and research 39 Syndicating services  RSS  Portlets  APIs, Protocol-based  Projects  Sakailibrary  … Not as rapid as one might expect?

40. Programs and research 40

41. Programs and research 41 Syndicating links

42. Programs and research 42

43. Programs and research 43 Some remarks  Syndication of data now common among data providers  Routing issue for non-unique materials  Resolution  Worldcat  Libraries exposing licensed content holdings interesting  Google Scholar

44. Programs and research 44  Service disclosure less common  Different levels of integration:  APIs  Web services  Portlets  HTML fragments – ‘search boxes’  Toolbars  Widgets, extensions, …  But should become much more common …  Cf Amazon Web Services  At what level and where?

45. Programs and research 45 The Leveraged discovery experience  In some ways the most interesting  Use another discovery service to connect back to your resources  Compare to the situation with article databases and resolvers

46. Programs and research 46

47. Programs and research 47

48. Programs and research 48 Some remarks  Some of these are toy-like now, but indicate a direction  Increased capacity to ‘sense’ structure (microformats) will improve ability.

49. Programs and research 49 So ….  The library website is not the front door  We need to connect multiple discovery environments to library fulfilment options  We need to put library resources in users’ workflow  We need to place library resources in places which aggregate demand

50. Programs and research 50 For many years, Chinese people cited a proverb: if the wine smells really wonderful, customers will come in spite of the length of the lane.
