Library Assessment Toolkit & Dashboard Scoping Research Final Report and Path...Megan Hurst
Athenaeum21 is pleased to announce the public release of “Library Assessment Toolkit & Dashboard Scoping Research Final Report and Path Forward." The report is the culmination of a six-month research project in collaboration with the University Library of the University of California, Davis; the Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford; and the Staats und Universitätsbibliothek, Göttingen, Germany. The research project examined how libraries currently assess their resources and services, and areas of opportunity to streamline and visualize library performance through a common and customizable set of key performance indicators (KPIs) and dashboard modules. The research team interviewed library assessment leaders and practitioners across diverse institutions and geographies, and reviewed the current landscape of technology, tools, and services addressing their needs.

The report concludes that "the majority of library managers approach assessment and evaluation in an ad hoc and reactive manner as questions arise. Managers spend valuable time manually collecting, cleaning, and normalizing data from diverse systems, and then perform one-time or static interpretations. The library managers that we interviewed during our research felt that the availability of a toolkit and dashboard could free them to probe and interpret more data, think more strategically, and develop more meaningful questions about measuring and evaluating library performance. While the scoping research focused on the performance of research libraries, the proposed toolkit and dashboard framework could be adopted and customized by any type of library, including smaller college and university libraries, community college libraries, and public libraries. Institutionalizing the project through sponsorship by an appropriate body or syndicate of libraries would help assure its extensibility nationally and internationally."

This document provides a history of libraries from ancient Sumeria and Egypt to the modern era. It describes how early libraries evolved from clay tablets and papyrus collections housed in palaces and temples for official records, to libraries in Greece and the great Library of Alexandria which had hundreds of thousands of scrolls organized by subject. It then discusses the role of monasteries in preserving knowledge during the Dark Ages by copying manuscripts by hand, the growth of universities and their libraries, the invention of paper and the printing press which increased access to books, and the establishment of subscription libraries and modern public libraries open to all citizens beginning in the 19th century.
This document provides an overview of the Smithsonian exhibition "Paper Engineering: Fold, Pull, Pop & Turn" which showcases over 50 examples of pop-up and movable books spanning 500 years. It discusses the origins of movable book mechanisms in medieval times and how they were used to calculate data and communicate information. In the 16th century, advances in printing and scientific knowledge led to more elaborate pop-up books being created to visually demonstrate complex systems. More recently, pop-up books have been used to teach children in an interactive way and to bring the natural world to life through intricate paper engineering. The exhibition aims to allow visitors to experience these rare works as the creators originally intended.

Museums in the era of modern times: the emergence of museographyЕрден Ибраев
1) The document discusses the emergence of museography and the early history of museums from the 15th-17th centuries. Early works outlined the first "ideal museums" and gave advice on collection and exhibition.
2) The peak of early museographic theory was Kaspar Nikel's 1727 work "Museumography", which introduced the term and outlined classifications of German museums.
3) The Enlightenment era promoted the concept of publicly accessible museums to educate the public, like the 1683 Ashmola Museum in Oxford and the 1759 British Museum founded with Hans Sloane's vast collection.
The document provides a history of libraries from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses how the earliest libraries began as collections of clay tablets and scrolls in places like Egypt and Mesopotamia. Some important early libraries included the Library of Alexandria, founded in the 3rd century BC, which was a major center of knowledge but was eventually destroyed. Libraries grew again during the Roman Empire and Middle Ages within monasteries, which helped preserve knowledge. The modern library system developed from the 15th century onward with innovations like the printing press and movement for public libraries in the 19th century led by Andrew Carnegie. The Library of Congress was established in 1800 and has grown to be the largest library in the world.

The document discusses Thomas Kuhn's perspective on science and technology (S&T), known as the Kuhnian perspective. According to Kuhn, science experiences periods of stable growth and revisionary revolutions. When current theories cannot explain new phenomena, a scientific revolution or paradigm shift occurs with the proposal of a new theory. Kuhn argued that science does not evolve gradually toward truth, but rather has periods of stability interrupted by revolutionary changes in scientific paradigms.
The document provides information on 8 museums located in Athens:
1) The Acropolis Museum celebrates International Museum Day on May 18th, 2016 with free entry. It houses artifacts from the Acropolis of Athens.
2) The National Historical Museum, founded in 1882, is located in the Old Parliament building and contains items from 1453-WWII emphasizing the Greek Revolution.
3) The National Gallery was founded in 1900 and owns a collection of over 20,000 works, being the treasury of Modern Greek art.
4) The National Archaeological Museum is the largest archaeological museum in Greece, displaying collections from pre-Hellenic to Roman eras.
5) The National Museum
The Oscar Rennebohm Library at Edgewood College underwent renovations over the summer of 2010 to update the space and create a more modern Information Commons area. The renovations included installing new green carpet, adding more computers including 4 additional Macs, brighter and more energy efficient lighting, and updating the entrance, print and copy center, computer areas, stairs, and 2nd floor spaces. The renovations transformed the library into a brighter, more modern study space for students.
The document discusses the history of information technology and systems through four periods characterized by the principal technology used: pre-mechanical, mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic. The pre-mechanical period from 3000 BC to 1450 AD saw the development of writing systems, alphabets, books, and early numbering systems. The mechanical period from 1450 to 1840 featured Gutenberg's printing press, the development of book organization methods, and early mechanical calculators and computers like the Pascaline and Analytical Engine, making this the first information explosion. The document continues discussing these topics in subsequent periods.

Technology is not the Answer: Why "digital" is not the most important aspect ...Megan Hurst
Shortly after its establishment in 1970, researchers at Xerox Parc invented the personal computer, complete with graphical user interface, windows, icons and a mouse. Yet, Xerox completely failed to successfully market and sell the personal computer and is still today known for making photocopiers and mainframes. In 1975, an employee at Kodak built the first digital camera. In 2012, Kodak filed for bankruptcy, having had its photographic film business disrupted by competitors invested heavily in promoting the "new" technology of digital photography. So why do large organizations (including academic institutions) fail to evolve with the times? And what is your strategy for supporting evolution and innovation in your organization? How do you adapt to and benefit from change and new ideas? In 2018, Athenaeum21 was commissioned to conduct an environmental scan of how and why digital strategies in a range of organizations succeed, and also why they "fail." We define "digital strategy" as "a plan of action for the adoption of institutional processes and practices to support and/or transform the organization and culture to effectively and competitively function in an increasingly digital world." Our research included a literature review, web review, and interviews with thought leaders and practitioners in digital transformation and digital skills-building in higher education, non-profits, and corporations. The report we produced provides examples of successful practices undertaken by organizations actively managing digital transformation and benefiting from their investments in innovation in Canada, the United States and Europe, as well as examples of so-called "failed" digital strategies. The answers as to why digital strategies succeed or fail are complex, but all hinge on six key elements that we identified during the research: 1. People, 2. Culture, 3. Leadership, 4. Organizational Alignment, followed by 5. Data, and 6. Technology. We will present our findings and model, with examples of how and why people, culture, leadership, and organizational alignment are more important for digital transformation than data and technology. We would like to have a robust discussion of how this model fits with your own local context.
Digital Strategy Environmental Scan for the Concordia University Digital Stra...Megan Hurst
Athenaeum21 (A21) is pleased to announce the public release of the “Digital Strategy Environmental Scan” report. The report was commissioned by the Concordia University Digital Strategy Committee, and has been publicly shared via its website. The committee is charged with creating a path-breaking digital strategy for Concordia University and has undertaken work “to determine what actions we need to take to become a next-generation university that embraces the digital reality of our students, faculty, researchers, staff and life in general.”
Concordia University selected A21 to research higher education institutions’ and industries’ approaches to strategically managing all aspects of digital transformation. The committee charged A21 with conducting a broad and deep examination of how and why digital strategies in a range of organizations succeed, and also why they “fail.” A21 conducted a literature review, web review, and interviews with thought leaders and practitioners in digital transformation and digital literacy in higher education, non-profits, and corporations. Interviewees included Dr. Jill Leafstedt, of Teaching and Learning Innovations, California State University, Channel Islands; digital literacy researcher and expert Dr. Monica Bulger; Michael Edson of the UN Live Museum; Dr. Gerald Kane, digital transformation researcher and professor of business at Boston College; Daniel Greenstein of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; Dr. Melissa Highton, of the University of Edinburgh; Sarah Knight, Jisc; and Tore Burheim, University of Bergen.

Assessing the Impact of the Library in the Research Ecosystem: CNI 2018 sprin...Megan Hurst
Libraries play an increasingly comprehensive role in the research lifecycle, yet metrics and measures (both qualitative and quantitative) that illustrate the fundamental role and impact of the library in research still need to be developed. Research libraries need first to define the values by which they want to be measured, rather than trying to manifest those values from the data that they have traditionally collected. To this end, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) underwent a visioning process for its assessment program between February and October 2017. The goal of this project was to develop a forward-looking program that advances the organizational outcomes of the 21st century research library. One result of the visioning process was a clearly elaborated need for research libraries to demonstrate their function in advancing and collaborating in the research enterprise. Rather than trying to define “impact” and “value” independently, the new ARL assessment program will set the context for understanding and communicating the stories of the research library to external stakeholders and provide the tools for members to tell this story locally. At the heart of this work is a framework that aims to draw a map of the landscape of services and functions provided across all research libraries. The comprehensive framework, and proposed new data points, will help research libraries translate their values into measures. The presenters will demonstrate how this collaboratively developed (and evolving) framework paints a map of the research library assessment landscape and how it will be used to understand and measure the role of the library in supporting institutional missions.

presents the results of a 2016 multi-institutional, international research and scoping study to define the nature and feasibility of a library assessment executive dashboard and toolkit to enable libraries to centralize diverse collection, usage, administrative, and financial data, and to more easily visualize, analyze, and utilize the data. The study investigated the need and high-level requirements for a toolkit to enable library administrators to utilize commonly shared performance indicators and formulas to create their own dashboards, and the ability to customize indicators and formulas as needed.
The Future of Finding: Resource Discovery @ The University of OxfordMegan Hurst
The report is the culmination of a one-year multi-strand research project, and examines how users of the museums and libraries at the University of Oxford find the information they need (known as “resource discovery”), current practices among other institutions, and trends and possibilities for resource discovery in the future.
Athenaeum21 led the end-user research and needs assessment portion of the project, and then led the synthesis and analysis of the data across all of the research strands, making the recommendations and writing the final report. The report defines the resource discovery strategy for the University for the next 5 years.
The roles of artists and designers have expanded with new tools and technologies, but their core functions remain the same. While the internet provides global access, libraries provide organized, high-quality information curated over centuries. Libraries help orient users, accelerate mastery of domains, and support lifelong learning and innovation by placing vast knowledge at users' fingertips. As hubs of learning, libraries can embed in academic and creative work to amplify individual and collective growth.
Data-Informed Decision Making for Libraries - Athenaeum21Megan Hurst
