The document discusses the vision and plans for creating a Global Library that would provide a virtual network of digital collections for print disabled persons worldwide. The Global Library would [1] allow authorized users to discover and access library materials in alternative formats from collaborating libraries internationally, [2] increase the number of accessible titles available, and [3] help participating libraries know what others are producing. A consortium model is proposed to govern the Global Library with support from member libraries and potential partners like Google and Bookshare. Further steps include finalizing requirements, governance, and cataloguing standards to pilot the project.
The objective of this webinar is to provide an overview of COAR and its activities in support of the development of a global network of repositories. The vision of COAR is to build a seamless knowledge infrastructure through a global Open Access repository network. COAR pursues its vision through an active community of members engaged in working and interest groups, advocacy activities, and training opportunities. The webinar will showcase the work of COAR, the benefits of being part of the organization, collaborative activities, and achievements of COAR.

Library consortia allow libraries to share resources and achieve objectives through cooperation. They are a method for sharing electronic resources among libraries with common goals. Consortia provide advantages like access to a large number of resources at lower costs. They also facilitate functions like cataloguing, consulting, collection development, purchasing, digitization and resource sharing. Consortia are easily formed without requiring capital and allow flexible membership.
Report on the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiativekramsey
The document summarizes the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative, which advocates rethinking how libraries conduct resource sharing in the digital age. It discusses the initiative's goals of improving user access and experience, outlines projects around policies, marketing, and technology interoperability, and encourages libraries to get involved through committees or endorsing the initiative's manifesto of principles.
Library networking involves cooperation between libraries to share resources and provide maximum access to users. It requires creating tools like union catalogs to make each library's collections accessible. Rational acquisition and fast interlibrary loan are important. Participating libraries must be willing to contribute records, train staff, and adopt standards. Networks aim to expand access and services while reducing costs through collaborative collection development and resource sharing. They allow libraries to offer more than they could individually.
The document discusses various aspects of collection development and management for libraries, including developing collection policies, assessing community needs, selecting materials, handling donations and weeding, intellectual freedom considerations, and assessing collections. It covers topics such as writing collection policies, performing needs assessments, criteria for selecting different materials like books, audiovisuals, periodicals and electronic resources, the importance of weeding policies, and qualitative and quantitative assessment techniques.

Digital India is a program launched by the Indian government to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. It has three main components: digital infrastructure as a utility to every citizen, governance and services on demand, and digital empowerment of citizens. The program aims to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks, increase internet and phone access, improve online government services and digitally empower citizens.
David Weinberger presented the concept of a library as a platform. He argued that viewing the library as a platform has advantages by providing a unifying framework, taking social networks seriously, and increasing the value of the library. As a platform, the library accumulates value by enabling unpredictable uses and providing resources that let others create and flourish. The library should think outward by embracing both analog and digital resources, opening everything, using open standards, and enabling difference for every user everywhere.
Digital India is a program launched by the Indian government in 2015 to transform India into a digitally empowered society. It aims to provide digital infrastructure like high-speed internet access to every citizen, digitize government services, and empower citizens through digital literacy.

Introducing Sugamya Pustakalaya: New Accessible Online LibraryDAISY Consortium
This document introduces Sugamya Pustakalaya, an initiative to address the challenges faced by over 53 lakh visually impaired and 1.2 crore print disabled people in India who have very limited access to accessible books. It aims to create a holistic solution by providing assistive technologies, developing distribution systems, and producing accessible book content in multiple Indian languages. Over the next 3 years, it hopes to make 10 lakh books available to print disabled people, ensure all school textbooks are accessible, and convert top publications. The initiative is supported by the DAISY Forum of India and various partners.
This document discusses ways that a school library can make its resources more accessible through mobile devices. It describes setting up a BYOD (bring your own device) program that allows secondary students to access a guest wireless network. It also discusses making the library website mobile-friendly and using tools like QR codes to provide mobile access to databases, book information, and social media pages. The library hosts an "Appy Hour" to help patrons find and set up mobile applications to access library resources.
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
What is a digital library, repository or platform?Jisc
A digital library, repository or platform is a place to discover, create and share knowledge and ideas through open access to digital information and connections between people. It acts as both a repository for preserving collections of knowledge and a facilitator for developing and sharing new ideas. An important role is providing a trust framework to ensure the provenance or origins of information are verifiable. The goals are to apply the technologies and culture of the internet to respond to people's expectations of access while serving the traditional library functions of being a place of record and discovery in a digital context.
The document outlines the Digital Strategy project of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. It discusses how the project was divided into five workgroups that researched and developed guiding principles for the library's digital future. The workgroups focused on areas like content, community engagement, digitization, user experience, and infrastructure. The workgroups were overseen by a steering committee. The guiding principles developed address issues like creating a unified digital platform, removing barriers to access, fostering an interactive online community, empowering individual users, expanding programming opportunities digitally, and preserving local history through digital archives.

Library Simplified is a collaborative project between libraries and partners to simplify the ebook borrowing process for library patrons. It aims to reduce the number of steps patrons must go through to discover, borrow, and read ebooks from 3 or more steps down to just 3 steps. The current library ebook model is flawed with up to 19 steps, resulting in lower adoption rates compared to commercial ebook sales. Library Simplified sees opportunities to address this by promoting open standards, accessing more publishers beyond the big 5, and using DRM for rights management instead of lock-in. Its progress so far includes iOS apps, hosted titles, and features for discovery, borrowing, and reading ebooks across platforms.

This presentation ponders what ‘forever’ access to licensed resources means, both as intellectual property and technological access. New initiatives such as Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) and Occam’s reader are potential tools that work for the public good. While new initiatives can be exciting, the promise of perpetual access can be difficult to fulfill. Specific examples of how libraries and publishers have met, or failed to meet, license terms regarding perpetual access will be presented. How to best provide perpetual access to items outside of license agreements, such as Open Access journals and OER will also be broached. We will examine how practical, economic, and culturally responsive library initiatives fit within the constraints and opportunities allowed under licensing, copyright, and staffing levels. Participants will be invited to consider whether perpetual access is a goal that is necessary, merely encouraged, or something else entirely.

Frances Pinter_The future of the academic monographCCI
This document discusses potential models for funding open access academic monographs in the social sciences and humanities. It proposes an international library consortium model where libraries collectively pay publishers a fee per monograph to cover the costs of producing a digital open access version. Key points:
- Current monograph funding models based on print sales are unsustainable as library budgets shrink.
- A consortium could aggregate demand and budgets from hundreds or thousands of libraries to pay publishers a set fee per monograph.
- This would significantly reduce costs for libraries compared to individual print copies, while still supporting publishers' services.
- Benefits include open access research, reduced costs, and leveraging existing funds rather than requiring new money

The document discusses the proposed solution to build a National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) to address problems libraries face. It outlines:
1) The need for a new national service to aggregate UK library data to support collection management, ebook management, and digital access.
2) The objectives of the NBK, including enabling data-driven decisions, collection management, improving ebook data and discovery, and supporting innovation.
3) How the NBK would be built by aggregating data from libraries through a large service provider and making this available to services.
4) Related work by Jisc to specify the NBK, select a provider, clarify metadata and the business model, and design

Expanding Our Horizons: Reaching for the Limits[PowerPoint]
The future of the library OPAC as a destination information portal is shaky at best. To surface library collections in today's information environment, libraries will have to move toward exposing themselves in multiple locations and through multiple methods. Looking at some of the successful ways OCLC has been able to surface the library's full capacity can give libraries one way to consider their futures.

The document discusses future trends in technical services that may impact libraries over the next 5-10 years. It notes that technical services departments will need to focus on innovation and managing change. Key trends discussed include a shift to more machine-based cataloging upstream; new standards like RDA; providing access to non-English materials; developing institutional repositories; implementing electronic resource management systems; and the potential impact of open-source ILS and federated searching systems like WorldCat Local. Technical services staff will need new skills in areas like metadata and may take on roles like maintaining institutional repositories or digital collections.

Editor's Notes
The future is already here – it is just unevenly distributed William Ford Gibson a Science fiction writer Today there are 161 million blind and partially sighted people in the world and this number is growing. In most countries we are an ageing population and this figure is expected to double over the next ten years. Extend this to print disabled and you have an even greater number of people who cannot read a conventional book, magazine or website as they are either unable to see the print, hold the item or access the website. It has been reported to us from library members who are blind, have low vision or other print disabilities that the lack of access to information is the biggest barrier to fully participating in work, recreation and life. Less than 5% of published material, i.e. books, and less than 20% of websites are accessible to these people. But how do libraries for the print disabled ensure that their clients can access the information of their choice? To ensure that this can be achieved, and realising that no one organisation can achieve this on their own, the IFLA section Libraries Serving Persons with Print Disabilities and the DAISY Consortium have joined to develop the Global Library project. This project endeavours to identify how content can be shared, collected and accessed by library clients. This presentation provides and overview to the project and the paper available online at the IFLA website outlines the Global Library project as sponsored by these two organisations.
In the analogue world the primary way for a person with a print disability to access library material in alternative formats was to register with a specialized library service in their country that would select items of interest and deliver them to the person’s home. Access to material held in other libraries in other countries was by interlibrary loan, a process that could take months. This service model is still in place in the digital world, but there are new possibilities too. Many libraries serving people with print disabilities have invested in digitizing their collections and building systems that allow patrons to select their own reading material and access it instantly online. Despite this great leap forward, the range of library material in alternative formats that is available to people with print disabilities is still limited for the most part to the holdings of the specialized library service in their country. Also by each institution working independently the 5% figure of accessible material will continue to remain static until shared collection development is implemented. The need to overcome this limitation, however, is growing. To overcome this limitation we need to understand the reasons behind it. There are three major reasons: there is no easy way for people to find out what library material is available in alternative formats in other countries; there are legal restrictions related to copyright; and there is the digital divide that separates the “haves” from the “have not’s” in terms of social and technological infrastructure and skills development. A Global Library is a concept that all support however in reality the definition of what a Global Library can and should do may be quite varied. It was important that a key definition and stated expectations of the Global Library were made clear from the beginning of the project.
A Steering Committee has been set up with representatives from both DAISY consortium and IFLA section LPD (libraries serving person with print disabilities) this committee has defined the Global Library for people with print disabilities as being: A network of online collections of digital objects, Collaboratively created/collected according to internationally accepted principles for collection development, Made available digitally in a coherent, accessible and sustainable manner, Supported by services to allow authorised users worldwide to retrieve and exploit global resources, and All subject to copyright. The Global Library is not: Distribution of physical objects. It will be up to the recipient (whether that is the “home” library of the client or the client) to convert digital objects to the physical alternate format of choice. A centralised repository of anything. Centralized governance and funding. Driven by the concept of a bookshop model. However, the bookshop concept should not be dismissed. Members can of course continue to offer their commercial models.
The first task of the steering committee was to set up four working groups. These working groups have representatives from a number of countries. The first team is the business model team This team will evaluate a number of business model options for the Global Library and provide a rationale for the recommended approach. This group will consider a consortium model, a transactional model and others in how we can ensure that we are able to share resources equitably. Work has begun with this group and an analysis of current models around the world has been completed. The recommended approach to date is based on a governing model on a consortium basis. This group has been asked to further develop funding models on how the global library will be sustainable, understanding that until final costs are known this may cause the funding model to be varied.
The second working group is the Partnership development team This team will consider current partnerships that could be leveraged; it will consider the ‘players’ and prioritizes those who could further the aims of the Global Library; developing a case statement for each potential strategic partner. However determing which partners should be approached will depend on the final specification of what is required which will be developed by the next two teams. Potential partners to name a few could be Google, OCLC, Microsoft, Bookshare and others.
The third working group is the Shared collection development team. This team focuses on library to library issues. This team will identify the collection development and file sharing challenges. They have been tasked to develop desired models for Content Purchasing and sharing as well as Content Creation. For example, when Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) by J.K. Rowling was published the English speaking print disability library organisations around the world produced 5 separate national braille master files and 8 separate national Daisy audio master files. The unnecessary use of financial and production resources for this duplication would have enabled the new production of a further 4 braille titles and a further 7 Daisy audio titles for sharing around the world. If each knew what each other was doing then duplication could be avoided.And the 5% figure could have been increased.
The fourth working group is the Discovery and access team : end user issues This team identifies current end user discovery and access challenges, the desired capabilities and options to get from where we are currently to where we want to be. This will involve how an end user can find, locate and retrieve their information of choice. In simple terms how do authorised library members find the title and then download it, print it (in braille) or play it. Is it the creation of a union catalogue? while this is a solution it only solves half the issue of a person being able to find out what title has been created in an alternative format. It does not enable them to get the title there and then. Federated searching does solve the immediate supply of the digital title. However are our global library members equipped with z39.50 or other standards on their library management systems. Also what other options are available that could be used. Therefore it was decided that last two working groups needed to find out some basis information from members of the IFLA LPD section before further decisions could be made.
To assist with the development of the Global Library working groups a survey was commissioned with Rightscom from the UK. It surveyed 35 organisations providing library services for print-disabled people in a number of countries, to determine if the vision for the proposed Global Library for print-disabled people meets the requirements of the libraries and their patrons, and to elicit specific information about the preparedness of the libraries to participate. 25 organisations responded to the survey. The key points were Identify support for the vision of the Global Library Rate importance of the key attributes of the Global Library Feedback on proposed high level requirements Information on current collections, systems and standards used The survey is quite large and I have only selected a very small number of responses to illustrate the overall support for the project. The full survey will be shortly available on the IFLA LPD webpages.
The questions in the first part of survey were concerned with getting respondents’ reactions to the vision for the Global Library which was incorporated into the survey together with views on the proposed high-level requirements. The first substantive question, asking for a general reaction to the vision, elicited a generally positive response, with 88% endorsing it.
Provide an easy way for people to discover library material in alternative formats 68% saw this as extremely important
Provide an easy way for people to get library material in alternative formats 68% saw this as important. Responses to both these questions clearly show that the organisations believe that better information about available formats and the acquisition and use of material in appropriate formats by users is critical. Over 90% of respondents rated these issues as extremely or very important.
Provide an easy way for participating libraries to know what other print disability libraries are producing Ninety-two percent of respondents rated knowledge about alternative format production by other institutions as extremely or very important. Overall the survey responses indicate a very positive reaction to the vision proposed for the Global Library, with an endorsement of most of the key benefits and high-level requirements. Some evidence for which features should be prioritised can be derived from the results. However, there is also evidence that the vision is not fully understood and needs to be clarified, which is unsurprising at this stage. There are also important gaps in information and knowledge on aspects which are of great importance, especially federated search and authentication. A key issue raised by a number of respondents concerns language, both in relation to the proposed multi-lingual interface, and in terms of how the Library will benefit different language groups, both those who live in countries whose majority language is not spoken widely in the rest of the world, and those that speak minority languages within other countries. This will affect the priorities of the project, the benefits conferred and the perception of who and what the Global Library is for. Copyright and relationships with publishers are also issues of concern to respondents, and related to that, the question of whether end-users should be able to find all the available materials, or only those which the user is eligible to access.
Current deliverables are that a specification is being developed that will outline the vision and requirements of what is to be achieved for both libraries and the end user. This specification will be presented to potential partners to ascertain their interest in participating in the project or by them developing a solution. Then identify libraries who could participate in a pilot project. Agree to cataloguing standards for Digital Rights Management information. Finalise the governance model. Further communiqués and information to be sent to all members of the LPD ensuring they are aware and support the Global library vision and specification.
