This document discusses what business libraries are in and how they should reposition themselves. It argues that libraries should move away from being centered around physical collections and toward prioritizing user engagement, expertise, services and digital infrastructure. Specifically, it suggests that libraries focus on space that encourages social interaction and knowledge sharing, make their expertise more visible, provide more user-centered services, leverage cloud-based systems, and use data to better support research and learning.
This is a short presentation given at the Technical Services Big Heads meeting at ALA 2013 in Chicago. It talks about four aspects of our current discovery environment.
It is based on 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at Libraries, Discovery, and the Catalog: Scale, Workflow, Attention' in Educause Review, December, 2012. http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/thirteen-ways-looking-libraries-discovery-and-catalog-scale-workflow-attention

A presentation about aggregation and discovery issues presented to the ARL Fall Forum. It covers some issues prompted by the Share proposal. Considers metadata aggregation and the general move from 'strings to things' in general Internet services. Touches on linked data, metadata processing, user expectation. Concludes with some general issues to consider.
The research library: scalable efficiency and scalable learninglisld
As research libraries are being reconfigured in a network environment, two important trends are emerging. The first is to accelerate the sharing of infrastructure, either through collaborative services or with third party providers. The second is to engage more deeply with the research and learning processes of their campuses. As research and learning processes themselves change, the research library has to respond and this makes being responsive and open to learning very important.
Collections unbound: collection directions and the RLUK collective collectionlisld
A presentation given to RLUK Members' meeting at the University of Warwick.
The library identity has been closely bound with its collection. However this is changing as research and learning behaviours evolve in a network environment. There are three interesting trends. First, atttention is shifting from a library-centric view of a locally owned collection to a user-centred view of a facilitated collection in places where the library can add value. Second, there is growing emphasis on support for creation, for the process of research, as well as for the products, the article or book. And third, we are seeing a changing perspective on the historic core, the print book collection. Increasingly, this is being seen in collective ways as institutions manage down print, or think about its management in cooperative settings, or retire collections as space is reconfigured around research and learning experiences. This presentation also provides preliminary findings for the analysis being carried out by OCLC Research of the RLUK collective collection.

Library discovery: past, present and some futureslisld
A presentation at the NISO virtual conference on Webscale Discovery Services, 20 November 2013.
Considers some of the issues that have led to the adoption of these services, and some future directions.
Distinguishes between discovery (providing a library destination) and discoverability (making stuff discoverable elsewhere).
Looking at Libraries, collections & technologylisld
**Important note - notes visible in downloaded presentation. **
An overview of research library collection trends. Presented in the context of changing demands of research and learning in a network environment. Behaviors shape technology; technology shapes behaviors. There is also some analysis of the RLUK collective collections study and a quick look at some characertistics of The Bodleian Libraries' collections.
Working collaboratively: scaling infrastructure, services, learning and innov...lisld
1. The document discusses collaborative activities in libraries, identifying three main areas: shared service infrastructure, cooperative negotiation and licensing, and professional development and networking.
2. It analyzes libraries through the lenses of an organizational perspective focused on infrastructure, engagement, and innovation, and a service configuration perspective oriented around collections, space, services, and support for student success and research.
3. The key is finding the right scale for collaborative activities to increase engagement, leverage infrastructure, and scale learning and innovation to support the evolving role of libraries.
We used to think of the user in the life of the library. Now we think of the library in the life of the user. As behaviors change in a network environment, we have seen growing interest in ethnographic and user-centered design approaches. This presentation introduces this topic. It also explores changes in how we manage collections as an illustration of this shift towards thinking of the library in the life of the user.
Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.
Irish Studies - making library data work harderlisld
[Check out the notes for details] Explores how WorldCat can be interrogated to reveal interesting things about a subject domain - Irish Studies. Part one looks at a move to linked data, suggesting that this will better support research enquiries. Part two provides some simple examples of how bibliographic data can support 'distant reading', literary analysis at scale. The third section looks at the collective Irish Studies collection - how Irish Studies materials are distributed across library collections.
It was presented at the American Conference for Irish Studies, 1 April 2016, University of Notre Dame.
7 Highly Successful and Effective Telecommuting HabitsMike Sansone
This document outlines habits of highly effective telecommuters. It recommends doing less enjoyable tasks first, focusing on your own work instead of comparing to others, segmenting multitasking into separate roles, creating in-person opportunities, being accountable, daily reviewing progress, and rewarding yourself for exceeding expectations. These habits can help telecommuters succeed in a workplace that is increasingly replacing cubicles with remote work.
Towards collaboration at scale: Libraries, the social and the technicallisld
Libraries are now supporting research and learning behaviors in data rich network environments. This presentation looks at some examples focusing on how an emphasis on individual systems needs to give way to a broader view of process, workflow and behaviors.
It also discusses how this environment creates a demand for collaboration at scale among libraries.
Library collections and the emerging scholarly recordlisld
A high level review of collection trends followed by a summary of recent work on the evolving scholarly record.
