Academic Library Reference Collection
The document summarizes a project to weed the reference collection at a university library to reduce the footprint by 4-6 ranges, improve traffic flow and visibility, and improve the quality of the collection. It was determined that 50% of the collection could be weeded by moving materials to the circulating collection, stacks with restricted access, storage, or discarding them. The envisioned new reference collection would focus on high quality subject encyclopedias, dictionaries, and unique sources to answer factual or unique questions to support brief periods of focused research with librarian assistance or self-directed browsing.

Martin t. Olliff presentation at Tri-State Archivists Conference, October 18, 2013, concerning shared appraisal authority and distributed, post-custodial archival management.
Shared data and the future of libraries
Big data refers to large amounts of diverse data that are growing exponentially due to increased digital activity. Shared data connects these disparate sources of information through linking related data points. This allows data to be reused, corrected efficiently, and shared in potentially useful ways. For libraries, big data could include patron records, bibliographic data, and more. Linked data in particular supports library goals by making information reusable, correctable, and shareable across systems through relationships between data. However, privacy and potential misuse of inferences from big data are ongoing concerns that must be addressed.
The future of music collections
The document discusses the changing music industry and how libraries can adapt their music collections and services. It notes that while album sales are down, music creation has not stopped. It suggests libraries focus on building partnerships within their local music scenes, providing both physical and digital music options, and serving as a creative hub through services like live music events, recording facilities, and artist support. Libraries should carefully choose digital services and content to engage both new and long-time patrons with a vibrant, locally focused collection.
