The Changing Context for Research, Teaching, and Learning

Knowledge itself will be modified and researchand development transformed by the new capacitiesprovided by IT. Nothing will be left untouched. The liberal arts will be revived and transfigured, liberatedfrom their age-long reliance on text alone. The silos of the departments will topple as new approaches tobewildering issues are pursued with new vigor by scholars in mind-boggling combinations of once insular and isolated disciplines.

–Frank H. T. Rhodes, past President of Cornell University, in The Creation of the Future

Search Engines

Library Portals

The Search Engine Challenge

Q: Where do you typically begin your search for information on a particular topic?

From Dempsey, Lorcan, Eric Childress et al. 2005. “Metadata switch.” In E-Scholarship: A LITA Guide (Chicago: LITA).

What is the Global Information and ResearchInfrastructure, and What are

the Roles of Libraries?

Library Frameworks for Discovery and Delivery

Support for public education

Integrating access to a variety of sources

Contribution to the culture

Searching across institutional boundaries

Preservation of our heritage

Integrated information management

“New types of information infrastructure”

Union catalogs as a primary means of access to library collections >>> Libraries Australia

Aggregation of supply and demand

Cathro, Warwick S. 2001. Keynote paper: Visions for fundamental change inlibraries and librarianship for Asia Pacific. Library Review 50 (7/8): 334-42.

Outward Integration

“Integration should be outward rather than inward, with libraries seeking to use their components in new ways”

--Interviewee for LC report on future of the catalog

“Everywhere, the library”--Carla Stoffle, University of Arizona Library

“Place as library” --Nancy Davenport, Council on Libraryand Information Resources

WorldCat Strategies

Moving libraries and library operations to the network to create local economies,

system wide efficiencies, and global impact for OCLC members and customers

Then: the user built their workflow around the library

Now: the library must build its service around the user workflow

Reduce unnecessary fragmentation and redundancies

Create system-wide efficiencies

Increase the impact of libraries

Make the network work for libraries

Put librariesat the point of need

Create Web Scale

Review and evaluate the current and alternative governance forms for OCLC.

Recommend a governance structure appropriate to the roles that OCLC is expected to carry out in the next decade.
