The Next Generation Technical Services (NGTS) initiative at the University of California aims to transform technical services across the UC library system through increased collaboration and efficiency. Phase 1 involved environmental scans of commonly held content and unique collections. Phase 2 established task groups to develop enterprise-level services, improve financial infrastructure, and support new formats. Implementation priorities include a deposit account model, a "good enough" cataloging standard, expanded shared cataloging, and streamlined processing of special collections. The transformation framework uses cross-campus groups and project teams to coordinate system-wide implementation through a continuous, phased process.

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.
Come to the Fiesta! Join the OLE ProjectDoreen Herold
Led by Duke University, the OLE Project intends to build a design document for an open source library management system which will be based on the software design philosophy of service oriented architecture (SOA). SOA is becoming a dominant trend in technology as early adopters have shown that it provides the benefit of an agile system, one that is flexible in response to information demands. Lehigh’s Doreen Herold and Tim McGeary will present the status of the OLE Project, its process, its goals, and how other PALINET members can participate.
Revitalizing the Library in the University Knowledge CommunityKaren S Calhoun
Covers some important studies on the future of the academic research library at Pitt and elsewhere. Discusses collaborative processes to build a new vision of library services and immerse the library more fully in research, teaching and learning at the university.
What does success look like when it comes to library discoverability? Index based discovery systems have seen a dramatic rate of adoption since introduction to the research ecosystem in 2009, with more than 9,000 libraries relying on a discovery system to provide users with a comprehensive index to their offerings. Some issues bar the way to providing this comprehensive view, but many challenges have been overcome through collaboration between libraries, content providers and discovery partners. The NISO ODI initiative began to examine these issues in 2011, and released a best practice in June 2014.
Speakers will highlight examples of successful collaboration, note continued areas of challenge, and provide insight on how the Open Discovery Initiative Conformance Checklists can be used as a mechanism to evaluate content provider or discovery provider conformance with the best practice.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Outline of UC’s NGTS, but it’s all about discussing the process Community Thinking: The time is right What’s going on in the environment NGTS Principles & Values NGTS Experience: Phase 1 NGTS Experience: Phase 2 Moving to Implementation (finally!) Priorities Process & Framework Aiming for *Transformation*
3. CommunityThinking @ UC “Rethinking How We Provide Bibliographic Services for the University of California” (December 2005) http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/sopag/BSTF/Final.pdf “We need to look seriously at opportunities to centralize and/or better coordinate services and data, while maintaining appropriate local control, as a way of reducing effort and complexity and of redirecting resources to focus on improving the user experience.” “Next‐Generation Technical Services: Changing How We Provide Technical Services for the University of California Libraries—Scope Statement” (April 2009)http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/about/uls/ngts/docs/NGTS_scope_10april2009.pdf “Radically new approaches to these operations are now called for in order to ensure that they are not only maximally efficient, but also transformatively effective.”
4. Community Thinking Not just a UC thing “The Changing Nature of the Catalog and its Integration with Other Discovery Tools” a.k.a. “The Calhoun Report” prepared for LC (March 2006) http://www.loc.gov/catdir/calhoun-report-final.pdf “… implementation issues associated with … innovation and cost reduction … include some technical but mostly organizational hurdles. To succeed … research libraries will need to master organizational change management and achieve unprecedented levels of collaboration with peers and external partners. “The Extended Library Enterprise: Collaborative Technical Services & Shared Staffing” (February 2009) http://www.orbiscascade.org/index/cms-filesystemaction/collaborative_ts/extended_library_enterprise_final.pdf “It is almost impossible to overstate the cultural shift that must occur for any of these ideas to really work.”
5. Community Thinking & ActionNot just a UC thing 2CUL http://2cul.org/ “Columbia and Cornell University Libraries are pleased to join forces in a transformative and enduring partnership between our two great library systems that enables us to pool resources to provide content, expertise, and services that are impossible to accomplish acting alone.” Prospects for Systemic Change across Academic Libraries, by James Neal, March/April 2011 http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Review/EDUCAUSEReviewMagazineVolume46/ProspectsforSystemicChangeacro/226178 “Similarly, we must raise the question of why the overwhelming majority of academic libraries in the United States continue to maintain a full suite of technical services operations. “
6. Environmental Conditions User behavior and expectations for how discovery works ‘Hidden Treasures’ & now, Digitization Gamechanger The Meltdown: Funding Space Organizational Climate Beyond Friendly Collaborations -> System-wide and beyond Trust & Formalized Trust issues
7. The UC NGTS Initiative Guiding Principles “Developing a system-wide view of collections allows the Libraries to develop richer services, leverage resources to increase collection diversity, expose hidden resources, and take full advantage of library expertise on the individual campuses.” “The University of California Library Collection: Content for the 21st Century and Beyond (August, 2009)” http://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/cdc/uc_collection_concept_paper_endorsed_ULs_2009.08.13.pdf Rethink TS Infrastructure for the UC library collections Collection Reduce redundancies and support a broader scope of content Allow for continuous improvements to ‘good enough’ metadata from the world beyond the UC Libraries: our users, expert communities, vendors, and other libraries….
8. The UC NGTS Initiative VALUES Success = user’s ability to easily find and use relevant content Success = exposing ‘hidden collections’ Less copying = more content Collaboration TS becomes single system‐wide enterprise Broader scope of content = unique UC scholarship, special collections, born digital, primary resources of 21st century Agree on ‘good enough’ Start with existing basic metadata from all available sources Build a culture of continuous improvement

11. Flipping the Stewardship model “As content shifts to the network and as discovery is disintermediated from the library, the work needed to support the library's traditional roles as buyer, archiver, and gateway to information is slowly diminishing.” (Mark Dahl, code4lib NW: digital initiatives presentation, June 2, 2010, http://synthesize-specialize-mobilize.blogspot.com/search/label/code4lib) Based on Lorcan Dempsey’s Collection Grid, http://www.oclc.org/reports/escan/appendices/collectiongrid.htm

14. Implementation Priorities Financial Infrastructure Move to a deposit account model to reduce the number of recharges Establish a secure web site to support real time access to invoice and recharge activity
15. Implementation Priorities Enterprise Collection Services Implement a “good enough” record standard for all of UC Implement the system-wide Shelf-Ready recommendations Expand and adjust the Shared Cataloging Program Define and implement UC-wide Collection Services Centers. Develop a system-wide model for collection services staffing and expertise
16. Implementation Priorities New Modes Implement “More Product, Less Process” (MPLP) tactics for processing archival and manuscript collections Support streamlined processing workflows and reuse descriptive data with system-wide use of the Archivists’ Toolkit Systematically digitize high-use, high-priority collections for access to UC primary resources Implement a coordinated, system-wide solution for creating and managing digital objects Using the University of California Curation Center (UC3) microservices as the foundation, implement infrastructure to manage the unique digital assets

Editor's Notes
Very pleased to be here today Opportunity to talk about how the UC’s have scoped out a Next Gen Tech Services vision over the last two yearsWill follow this outline, but hope to engender discussion
Little UC contextual background: one university 10 campuses, range of sizes, from Berkeley and UCLA to Merced, trying to be virtual, campus of less than 5000, established in 2005.History of coordinated library committee structure, but different library ILS’s and fairly established individual functional organizations.But coordination beyond the support group mentality happens when there are resources involved, as with CDC (CollDevpt) and Melvyl, the union catalog.2005 BSTF report as basis for rethinking discovery not just the update of Melvyl that was most obviously needed.Already in that BSTF report, the notion that the backend operations would need to be tended to next and move the operational thinking to what was then called, ‘the network level’.
Just some examples of similar thinking throughout the profession, also complemented by On the Record: Report of The Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. Jan. 2008.
2CUL all about 2 privates working on arrangement to share costs of the TS support for the ‘Commonly Held’ rather mainstream collectionsAs Neal notes in the

Aimed to depict the full scope of content to be included in the Next Gen technical services work, beyond the commonly held. Ideally the commonly held would be accomplished more efficiently, freeing up staff to work on the unique collections and born digital 21st century resources
Another illustration of the types of resources that need more attention in the TS scope, beyond the top left quadrantIn early days, hope was to redirect staff, now we’re struggling to cope with attrition, jobs that can’t get replaced
Financial infrastructure remains a challenge in the UC decentralized model… one that will be a SOPAG priority because it is so fundamental, but so challenging.
Council of University Librarians review and assignment to SOPAG Struggle to be quick
In the quick, easy win category. The big challenge will be taken up by SOPAG and ULs
Ah, but are we one enterprise? That is the question..Still will try to chip away at consensus actions.
Best practices and tools sharedLink to Digital Library Services Task Force Work that has also been underway for 2 years… need to link to collection development
Still in review but…What can I say … see next slide.
