This document summarizes the key findings of a survey conducted by EBSCO about the future of the academic information supply chain. Over 100 librarians, publishers, agents, and other opinion leaders were surveyed. Their responses suggested that over the next 3-5 years: pressure on budgets will remain significant; the role of libraries will shift towards support services like research output management and information literacy; and open access will continue growing in importance and impact how content is accessed and purchased. Subscription and pricing models may also evolve in response to these changes in the industry.

The papers cover diverse subjects and reveal some surprising insights into possible future roles for the library and others in the supply chain. Experts share opinions on new and emerging technologies, changing research practices, trends in user behaviour/expectations and views on a variety of access and business models. Unsurprisingly, budgetary pressures have a significant impact across all areas of the supply chain, but some experts feel this can be used to drive innovation. Other future forces for change include mobile technology and the importance of China, India and other emerging economies in shaping publishers’ activities.

Monetizing and Marketing Digital Textbooksdclsocialmedia
One of the most misunderstood concepts about digital textbooks is the cost. Many educational stakeholders mistakenly believe that the paper, printing, and shipping make up the bulk of the cost in producing a textbook, but the real expense is in the large panel of experts at the Ph.D. level and above. These experts work even at the most elementary levels to create the content that goes into a standards-based curriculum.
The document summarizes strategies for leveraging technology in challenging budget times presented by Dr. Cable Green. It discusses:
1) Adopting cloud-based systems to reduce costs of licenses, hosting, help desks, and professional development.
2) Increasing the use of open educational resources and open textbooks to reduce costs for students and increase access to educational materials.
3) Implementing a strategic technology plan with five strategies including treating IT as a centrally funded service and increasing online student services and professional development.

Our assessment of the seven major factors driving large changes in education practises: student devices, digital content, blended learning, realtime student-level assessment, "big data" analysis, interfunctional school systems and a tougher sell to schools.
This document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) for teaching user experience design. Some key benefits include improving equity by eliminating tuition costs, allowing for easy updating of materials, and contributing to the potential for OER to become the standard. However, challenges include overcoming perceptions of low quality, keeping materials current, lack of author incentives, time spent finding and curating resources, and ensuring accessibility. The document advocates for OER as a step toward more equitable and accessible education.
This document discusses how technology is transforming K-12 education. It notes that digital tools and online content are becoming widespread in classrooms, with over 90% of schools having devices for every student. While connectivity issues remain for some schools, bandwidth is improving overall. Content is shifting from traditional textbooks to online materials from a variety of sources. Teachers now drive adoption of new edtech products through recommendations to schools. Freemium models allow teachers and students to access tools for free, driving viral growth before schools purchase premium features. The document argues that technology enables more personalized, collaborative, and skills-focused learning, better preparing students for future workplaces that will rely heavily on automation.
Schools are experiencing a surge in bandwidth requirements due to growing use of eLearning technologies, digital content distribution, one-to-one learning initiatives, online testing, BYOD policies, and federal connectivity initiatives. To address this, schools need high-capacity fiber networks capable of scaling to future needs, effective network management, and data center and cloud services to securely store and provide access to growing online resources. Limited budgets can be offset through savings from reducing printing, updating textbooks, and utilizing existing facilities more efficiently as needs change with digital transformation.
Digital learning now! Smart SerieS
This is the eighth paper in a series of interactive papers that provides specific guidance
regarding the adoption of Common Core State Standards and the shift to personal digital
learning.
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning assets from around the world that are free to use, edit, and share. Driven by implementation of new state learning standards, interest in OER are high as educators reassess their instructional materials. They have the potential to engage teachers more fully in curricula, allowing them to adapt content to their students’ needs.
In this session, OSPI’s OER project will identify strategies for parents to also take advantage of OER, giving them the opportunity to do what they do best—curate quality educational resources and leverage them to assist their children. This session will highlight how parents use OER effectively. This includes:
1. Showing kids how to access online images, music, and articles for reports without violating copyright
2. Providing access to targeted homework help
3. Locating sites that offer resources that engage kids and supplement the school experience
4. Exploring sites that offer full-course instructional materials
We’ll also discuss OSPI’s OER Project and how it is helping teachers locate and review exemplary open resources.

This workshop will explore the skill sets for scholarly
communication including questions about future
requirements, the language we are using in this space and,
beyond skills, what type of people are suited to different
aspects of librarianship. Scholarly communication requires
people who are able to be flexible in their approach, rather
than ‘rule followers’, which may mean a fundamental shift
in the library workforce into the future. Working collectively,
the session will consider the implications for upskilling our
‘legacy’ workforce.
Using ROI to Justify Your Online Learning InitiativeJulie Evans
This document discusses justifying online learning initiatives through return on investment (ROI) and value of investment (VOI) analyses. It introduces the Online Learning Justification Ladder, a new tool for district leaders to structure the data collection and analysis needed for ROI or VOI analyses when planning online learning projects. The ladder includes steps to determine how the analysis will be approached, which audiences it will focus on, specifics of the online learning project, timing, delivery methods, and reasons for the investment.
The strategic technology plan outlines five strategies to leverage technology and reduce costs: 1) Create online teaching tools for anytime learning, 2) Create online student services, 3) Create lifelong learning for faculty/staff, 4) Use data to improve student success and efficiency, 5) Treat IT as a centrally funded service. It recommends centralizing systems, sharing resources, and treating technology as a baseline service. Implementing the plan could save millions and increase access for students through online learning and open educational resources.
This document discusses trends in higher education and skills needed for 2020. It predicts that by 2020:
- Learning will be ubiquitous, personalized, and accessed through networks rather than individual institutions. Knowledge will be shared openly across the globe.
- Institutions will take on more of a guiding role, teaching thinking processes rather than content. Faculty will act as specialized coaches and knowledge will reside in open networks rather than silos.
- Students will need skills like judgment, transmedia navigation, collective intelligence and negotiation to succeed in this environment where knowledge is shared and learning is collaborative across networks and modalities.
The document contains abstracts from several keynote speakers at a conference on libraries and information literacy. It includes:
1) An abstract about how libraries must help patrons become "digital citizens" by teaching skills for participation in digital democracy and online communities.
2) An abstract discussing how emerging technologies are reshaping higher education learning spaces and the role of information services.
3) An abstract about managing resources and suggesting strategies to support innovation within organizations.
The document provides a director's report on the Palos Verdes Library District's achievement of its 2006-2007 strategic plan. Key accomplishments included redesigning the library website, increasing usage of online resources, opening a new youth annex, expanding collections, and improving facilities and safety measures. Progress was slowed by limited resources and staff turnover, but the new integrated library system will help enhance online services and make the library easier for the community to use.

Parents’ Conflicting Views on Personalized Learning vs. Screen TimeJulie Evans
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Julie Evans of Project Tomorrow about parents' conflicting views on personalized learning and screen time. It finds that while parents support technology skills and digital learning tools in school, concerns about too much screen time have grown. This creates a debate between personalized learning and screen time. Reasons for this conflict include parents' own social media use, negative media stories, and changes since their own school experiences. Messaging should highlight how personalized learning develops skills for the future.

1) Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available or have been released under open licenses. Using and contributing to OER can help lower costs for students and increase access to education.
2) Adopting open textbooks for high-enrollment courses could save Washington state community college students over $7 million per year in textbook costs. Using open online courses from sources like MIT OpenCourseWare could increase access and completion rates.
3) Transitioning to OER requires a cultural shift toward sharing educational content as a public good. It means rethinking intellectual property and content as resources for benefiting all students rather than competitive advantages for institutions.
This document summarizes issues with the Common Core State Standards initiative for K-12 education in the United States. It outlines that Common Core has incomplete academic standards, inferior standards compared to alternatives like ACT, and poses privacy concerns regarding student data collection. The document also describes how Common Core transitioned from a voluntary program to being imposed by the U.S. Department of Education through funding incentives, despite claims that it would remain a state-led initiative.
How Open Educational Resources and Digital Technologies are Changing Higher E...Tom Caswell
This document discusses how open educational resources (OER) and digital technologies can help break the "iron triangle" of higher education by lowering costs, increasing access, and maintaining quality. It outlines the current challenges of high textbook costs and limited access to education. By adopting open licenses for publicly-funded educational content and sharing resources through initiatives like Open Course Library, institutions can leverage digital technologies to improve affordability and scalability while benefiting students.

The hypothalamus regulates body temperature through negative feedback by sensing blood temperature and sending signals to alter processes like shivering, sweating and blood vessel constriction/dilation. The pancreas and liver also use negative feedback to keep blood glucose levels steady by secreting insulin and glucagon which signal the liver to store or release glucose as needed. Diabetes occurs when this process is disrupted, resulting in dangerous fluctuations in blood glucose.

Key areas identified were alignment with institutional mission, assessment, innovation, and responding to users' needs. Solutions discussed included new service models, collaboration, and demonstrating the library's value through assessment.
The document summarizes a report evaluating the state of the Open Education Resources (OER) movement in the US. It finds that while OER use has grown, more work is needed to make OER a mainstream part of classrooms. Key findings include that OER supply is strongest for higher education and K-12 math/science, while discovery and use of existing content remains challenging. Educator awareness is high but clarity on how to fully use OER is still lacking. Policy changes could help adoption by making procurement more open and clarifying teacher intellectual property rights. Tracking core metrics over time will provide insight into the ecosystem's progress toward mainstream use.
ReadCube was developed as a reference manager to organize PDFs but has grown into a platform for discovering, accessing, and managing scholarly articles. Initial trials of ReadCube Access, which allows libraries to enable on-demand purchasing of individual articles, showed it increased access to content in a sustainable way that was preferred by researchers over interlibrary loans or file sharing. ReadCube aims to address the challenges of rising journal costs and limited library budgets through partnerships with publishers and libraries.

The role of librarians is shifting to building critical connections between information, knowledge, and learning through strategies like knowledge portals that integrate technology, user segments, and curriculum.
This document discusses the arguments for being open with educational content and resources. It outlines 8 reasons to be open: 1) Education is sharing, 2) Buy one, get one (political argument about public funding of research), 3) The paradox of free (financial argument that free resources don't hurt sales), 4) The $5 textbook (financial sustainability of low-cost open textbooks), 5) Facilitate the unexpected (openness enables new ideas), 6) Continuous improvement (openness allows improving resources over time), 7) Content is infrastructure (open content fuels innovation), 8) Do the right thing (openness fulfills our moral responsibility). The document provides examples and evidence supporting each argument.
Based on data form a range of ACODE Surveys over the last 12 months, and other industry data, there have been some distinct trends emerge that suggest that institutions are taking a fresh look at how they conduct teaching and assessment, longer term. Much of this has been predicated on what was necessary to deal with lock-down situations due to COVID-19, but more recently this has allowed institutions to consider the longer-term advantages in accommodating different forms of assessment, those that have traditionally fallen out of what was considered ‘normal’, most notably the ‘exam’. This shift in thinking has also extended to what institutions considering different forms of delivery of their core content, with there being a distinct shift away from what has been the mainstay for centuries, the ‘Lecture’. This shift has allowed for more authentic forms of delivery, ones based in more collaborative and active approaches. This presentation with provide a summary of some of the key data and share some examples of how some institutions are approaching the next few years, as uncertainty around the short-term future of in-person learning and teaching persists.
2012-2022: The Decade of the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses)Fereshte Goshtasbpour
Katy Jordan, University of Lancaster (UK) and Fereshte Goshtasbpour, The Open University (UK)
In a New York Times article, Pappano (2012) declared 2012 as ‘the year of the MOOC’. It was a year which saw a surge in interest in this new, open form of online higher education. While the initial hype around Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) subsided and their form has changed significantly from the first large-scale courses, more learners than ever are registered with the platforms, which have attracted substantial levels of investment. In this presentation, we report the findings from a paper that brought together articles published about MOOCs in the Journal of Interactive Media in Education (JIME) over the past ten years. First, the presentation provides an overview of major events and trends in relation to MOOCs over the past ten years. Then it takes a closer look at the 25 papers published in JIME arranged in relation to four main themes, including: situating MOOCs; learning design and roles; MOOCs and languages; and accessibility and inclusion.

Wahid Ullah discusses major problems in library and information science (LIS) based on his experience and studies. He categorizes LIS problems into four groups: administrative, technical, physical, and networking/communication. Some of the common problems identified include lack of proper budgets, trained staff, resources, facilities, marketing, and cooperation between librarians. Updates to LIS curricula are also needed to keep up with changing technology requirements. Overall, the document outlines a variety of challenges facing LIS professionals and educational institutions in effectively delivering library services and resources.

Comments
“There is currently no model that fits all libraries.
Publisher
The Big Deal is still very good value for money”
“The unpredictability of library budgets in the current economic
climate and the fact that big deals leave no flexibility for
Librarian
nuancing collections at the title level mean that librarians are
becoming increasingly disenchanted with the big deal.”
“The relevance/validity/usefulness of the big deal depends on
the kind of institution. It will remain appropriate for smaller Agent/
(possibly teaching-lead) institutions, but will become less and Intermediary
less relevant to larger or more research-focused institutions.”

“Subs agents will still be needed but will have to find new
roles for themselves in assisting librarians – and those roles Publisher
are there, just being taken up by other non-agent players.”
“We can make a lot more content available in our Agent/

“The journal publishers/vendors need not fear OA: it increases access to content mainly

to prefer to search for and access content through aggregated, organized, and full- Leader

foreseeable future, and that publishers and intermediaries should not

fight against the trend but seek to embrace it by providing the

Conclusions
Known knowns…
• Landscape hugely dynamic…and will
continue to be so
• In the West, the economy will remain
the issue foreseeably, pressurising:
• institutional funding
(library, research, teaching
budgets)
• the entire academic information
supply chain
• Open access will continue to bring
change and opportunity, and (for some)
threat to survival
45. EBSCO Information Day 2012
Conclusions
Evolution for most of us…
• Libraries: curating digital research data
• Publishers: growth beyond US/Europe
e.g. China, India, Brazil etc.
• Agents: as originators/curators of
metadata
• Content: nature/delivery/use shaped by
mobile technology
• Users: continually evolving behaviour
and demands
• Universities: increasingly competitive;
showcasing output
• Govts./Funders: mandates challenging
subscription paradigm
46. EBSCO Information Day 2012
Conclusions
Revolution for some?
• Library as publisher (e.g. OA journals; data)
• Librarians as digital literacy experts
• Agent as (OA) fund manager
• Agent as manager of patron-driven
access and use
• Agents to become first and foremost
technology companies?
• Publishers as research partners
(e.g. Digital Science)
• Funding bodies as publishers (e.g. eLife)
• New players may surprise us all -
through acquisition, encroachment or
by seizing an opportunity first
