Sometimes survival means being faster, stronger, or smarter. Sometimes it requires flexibility, alertness, and the ability to adapt. Academic libraries are in the midst of a digital transformation, but in this transitional period some real tensions demand strategic nuance. An expert in the changing roles of the library, scholarly publisher, and learned society, keynote speaker Roger Schonfeld will lead us through the three tensions underlying the changing library environment. Each of these tensions is a budgetary tension, and each of them is a systems tension, and for each of them the library would benefit from a more sophisticated engagement by publishers and vendors.

The landscape of academic research has changed rapidly in the past decade, with access to high-performance networks, and the focus on data-intensive and interdisciplinary scholarship. Research libraries in North America are developing new services and programs aimed at meeting scholars’ needs for data-intensive, and interdisciplinary research support. Examples of some emerging programs include:
• Supporting digital research (graphical information systems, digital humanities, survey research methodologies, working with large datasets)
• Educating users about copyright and author rights
• Supporting content-creation and publishing activities in numerous ways: institutional repository to store and host works, establishing maker spaces, and developing infrastructure and workflows for more formal library-located publishing efforts
• Collaboration with research offices to educate researchers about federal mandates for open access publications and datasets
• Establishment of data management and archival resources
• Partnering with third-party vendors and with consortia to achieve scale-efficiencies and facilitate impact
• Development of researcher information management systems to support collaboration, discovery, and reporting
We present a case study of the development of a suite of new tools and services at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign within its newly established Office of Research to support digital scholarship and to provide sustained and broad access to research. We will also discuss the significant challenges and opportunities of library/campus partnerships for cyberinfrastructure and research support.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

13. Recommendations
• Retrospective print library collections and prospective
digital library resources require very different
strategies to achieve accessibility for patrons with print
disabilities.
• Universal accessibility should be embedded in future
licensed and acquired products and services so special
conversion to a usable format will only be required for
retrospective works. With born-digital texts, e-readers,
and other mobile devices, research libraries should
advocate for accessible solutions up front—born-
accessible materials—obviating the need for resource-
intensive reformatting and retrofitting.
University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries • Madison, WI 53706
Phone: (608) 262-3193 • www.library.wisc.edu
14. Recommendations
• The growing demand for instructional e-content
and burgeoning digital library collections requires
greater collaboration amongst all institutional
partners, including academic leadership, research
libraries, disability services, and information
technology services. These partners should share
knowledge, define roles, and become
knowledgeable about print disabilities, in order to
effectively serve users, to meet the requirements of
federal and provincial law, to fulfill mission, and to
move the market.
University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries • Madison, WI 53706
Phone: (608) 262-3193 • www.library.wisc.edu
15. Recommendations
• Members of the research library community should
collaborate within each institution and actively
participate in cross-institutional and cross-industry
efforts to advance universal design standards for
digital information resources, library-mediated or
otherwise. Such collaboration will also be most cost
effective in acquiring accessible information products
and services.
• Research libraries should institute a plan to make all
future websites, pages, and documents accessible
while tackling older web resources over time.

Editor's Notes
Before beginning our strategic planning process I brought in national speakers to help library staff better understand the significant changes in higher education, the broader economy and how state and national funding models have changed, along with new and greater expectations for higher education institutions.
The research university library is but one piece of a very large, complex change ecosystem.
Upon my appointment as Vice Provost for Libraries, the Provost provided me with several useful directives including:
To prepare a personal plan ensuring the continued success of the General Library System.
I interpreted this directive to include an administrative reorganization addressing the needs of a modern research university library system;
To provide campus with a strategic plan for its 46 campus libraries;
And working with the UW Foundation, to build an advancement/development plan for the libraries.
Advancing that strategic plan requires a coordinated print management plan that is seen as fundamental to moving forward effectively managing print collections and storage on campus.
Working with Facilities Planning and Management, the Libraries are invited to design a campus libraries master facilities plan. Questions such as: How many libraries are needed? What are the locations of those libraries? What is a library?—will be addressed.
However, in order to answer those questions, the Library must first determine a services delivery plan. What are the critical, fundamental library services? How will they be provided, by whom, and where? Answers to these questions will then inform the design of a campus libraries master facilities plan.
The goal of our work is a sustainable library funding model including adequate support for collections that support research, teaching and learning.
I contracted with the Office of Quality Improvement to provide the facilitation assistance for the strategic planning process.
Together we established a charter, identified sponsors for the project, and developed a clear timeline for our work.
The Office of Quality Improvement facilitated focus group meetings with stakeholder groups, analyzed data, and held us to the established timeline. (May 2013 – December 2013)
Without their assistance it is unlikely that we would have completed the work in a timely manner.
Meetings and focus groups with internal and external stakeholder groups were exceedingly important. They were the basis for our data.
We met with campus groups including students, faculty, administrators, and library staff.
We met with colleagues from UW System, the CIC and ARL .
Questions were formulated for each group; what does the library do well? Where do we need to improve? What will the library look like in 10 years?
The data was analyzed and summarized and presented at a retreat with participants representing a diagonal slice of all of the stake holder groups.
The comments and data were then further refined into a vision, mission, and three fundamental components to the strategic framework.
The process was in fact critical to the success of the project.
And facilitation from OQI was also critical to our success.
Throughout the course of the strategic framework discussions we heard time and again from stakeholders the need for libraries to exert campus leadership in defining the course of the research library. We were told that we are on the right course with the administrative reorganizations, strategic planning discussions, and the creation of a more robust advancement/development program for campus libraries.
From those discussions we feel empowered and energized to meet the challenges in front of us.
