The State Library of Victoria underwent a massive transformation over the last five years through their SLV21 project. They now offer more varied experiences both onsite and online for visitors. Onsite, they have galleries, programs, and over 100 internet computers. Online, users can access databases, order books/copies, use research guides, and contribute to blogs from anywhere in Victoria. They have also digitized nearly 300,000 heritage items. The State Library aims to further expose their content through new discovery tools and make everything accessible online. They will continue their dual role of providing access while preserving important Victorian heritage materials.

I am not sure why the title slide will not show the full title! No time to troubleshoot that problem. Oh well, technology :)

Expanding Horizons - Ideas into Practice. Martyn Wade.Twin Cities Conference: Innovation into Practise- New Service Concepts, Helsinki and Turku, Finland, 13-16 May 2009
A beautiful visual history of our greatest libraries. Principles and practices through the ages that are just as relevant now ... supports why we need a Learning Commons.
Libraries around the world are constantly adapting and evolving. The digital transformation is taking place, but in the meantime there is a growing need for people to meet in person and listen to each others stories. ‘Libraries are here to elevate discourse’ a fine librarian in Salt Lake once said to me. This presentation brings stories and best practice examples from my travels over the world in search of the future of libraries and will show how Storytelling is used in Social Inclusion, Digital Inclusion and Lifelong learning and how the library as a 3rd place is settling in the heart of our library users.

In an age of austerity, where UK statutory library provision is in jeopardy, a small band take on the responsibility of setting up and running a volunteer run library and information hub, rooted in the digital age.
A story of blood, sweat and tears but despite all odds, the a library service prevailed. How did they do it?

OPAC Via Primo (OvP): Sorting Out What is Primo and What is the ILSAlison Hitchens
Explanation of Ex Libris software Primo in terms of what is controlled by the discovery layer (Primo) and what is controlled by the Integrated Library System (e.g. Voyager) when you are using OPAC via Primo (OvP). Presented at ELUNA 2014 in Montreal.
The future of the integrated library systemWhitni Watkins
The traditional ILS as we know it will only die out because it will evolve. It will not disappear. More now than ever do libraries need automation and resource management. The thing is, our collections are becoming more and more heavily electronic, we need a system that will handle digital content in an efficient manner. The current ILS does not.
Current ILSs are built around the traditional library practice of print collections and services
designed around these collections, but the last ten to fifteen years have seen great shifts in both
library collections and services. Print and physical materials are no longer the dominant resources.
Actually, in many libraries, especially in academic and research libraries, the building of electronic
and digital collections have taken a larger role in library collection development.
As libraries have moved increasingly to accommodate digital collections, they’ve found the ILS products unable to be reconfigured well enough to smoothly and efficiently handle the integration of all the workflows that are different, yet, necessary, for both print and digital.
The current ILS serves the purpose for an academic library but instead of one system with seamless interaction we have one system with add on components to do some of the now necessary functions like electronic resource management and the discovery layer.
there are three trends that will lead to the change in the traditional ILS: “1. Increased digital collections; 2. Changed expectations regarding interfaces; 3. Shifted attitudes toward data and software.”
There are four distinguishing characteristics of the next-generation ILS we believe are critical. They are comprehensive library resources management; a system based on service-oriented architecture; the ability to meet the challenge of new library workflow; and a next-generation discovery layer.
Up until recently, libraries developed collections to serve the communities that they were located in. And that's going to shift because the collections that they create will define the communities they serve, which is the exact opposite of the way it used to be in the physical world. In the electronic world it will be completely opposite. (VINOD CHACHRA, VTLS)
Our collections are now booming with digital content and a very inept way to serve it. The traditional ILS wasn’t created to handle digital content. The new ILS, will serve as a library service platform where digital content will be a the forethought instead of an afterthought.
Breeding writes that “the next generation of library automation systems needs to be designed to match the workflows of today’s libraries,
which manage both digital and print resources.”

Editor's Notes
Endeavour to represent the multiple levels
Vocera The whole on-floor team and the tiered / roving model is supported by the Vocera system, a wireless communication technology platform which links into our IP telephony phone system. This slide shows the device which is worn by all FOH staff This is NEW technology – and we knew it was an important platform to “get right” if this model was to be a success. Outcomes SLVCHAT service now offered for 40 hours a week instead of 20 hours Staff time redirected also to greater focus on support for digitising program – Heritage Collections staff and cataloguiing. (Changed model has resulted in 177 FOH hours saving.)
