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.
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.

Challenges and opportunities for academic librarieslisld
Research and learning behaviors are changing in a network environment. What challenges do Academic libraries face? What opportunities do they have? A presentation given at a symposium on the future of academic libraries at the Open 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

2. Libraries Are Struggling to Stay
Relevant Because of the Effects of the
Digitally Driven Technological World
The Way Libraries Are Being Designed
and Used Is Changing
4. Tefko Saracevic calls relevance "an elusive,
human notion [that ... i]n its most
fundamental sense, [...] has to do with
effectiveness of communication.“
That's with regard to information, and it‟s not
much of a definition.
Maybe we‟ll know it when we see it…
7. For a library, establishing relevance draws on a
number of complex factors, among them:
• Creating a unified vision for the community
• Reinvisioning individual roles as librarians, with the
help of leaders like you.
• Reinvisioning integrated services within a shared
space as well as in the digital realm
• Branding as way to communicate value, utility, and
a unique identity
• Integrating technology smartly, with an eye toward
being keeping it accessible and user-friendly.
(Re)Establishing Relevance
8. And we have a long history of delivering
service in an appropriate, relevant and
equitable manner. Plus, we are eager to
adapt to changing technologies.
WHAT‟S THE PROBLEM?
9. We know we have
it. Somehwere.
But, the game has
changed….
Recognizing (and manipulating) Value
10. To serve the user or to get them back into the library to
borrow more books we can count and keep track of so we
can get enough funding so as to not disappear off the face
of the earth?
http://www-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/content/research/projects/sub/bionics/
What really motivates the library to change?
We lure with technology, but
(in a lot of cases) it's an ad
hoc adoption which lacks a
premeditated framework.
Plus, Google is free too.
11. We need forge partnerships with content
providers and leverage our POWER to make
sure information is provided in a way that
suits the user.
We need to be a hub. We need to meet the
information seekers in their domain, not at
our desk.
We have knowledge and skills. Anyone can
now find information, we need to make it
accessible.
14. Libraries Continue To Be Built or
Remodeled, but Design Concepts are
Changing Because of External Technological
Changes
15. First, Some Background
◦ Between 1995 and 2002, three hundred and fifty
academic library projects in the US
◦ For the years 2003 to 2008, Christopher Stewart
studied 85 new, stand-alone libraries in the US
◦ In this time period, new academic library size was
approximately 100,000 square feet on average
◦ Community libraries were also being built or
remodeled. These were smaller, about 10,000 to
40,000 square feet
16. Libraries Are Still the Focal Point and Symbol
of Academic Life for Most University
Campuses
Not Just Academic Libraries, but Public
Libraries Are Symbols of Value and Quality
for Towns and Schools
17. Library Design and Function Strongly Affected by the Digital
Age
The Library is No Longer Just a Repository of Books
Architecture is Now Built Around the Learner
Libraries Provide Combined Social and Learning Space
◦ Collective learning
◦ Flexible learning environment
◦ Reading rooms
◦ Information commons
◦ Exhibition space
◦ Meeting rooms and collaborative learning
◦ Coffee Bar

23. Envision a space that:
• allows ease of access by community AND
campus
• creating spaces to gravitate to for
-leisure reading
-study
-group activities and noise
(for teens, children, & college
students)
-workshops and meetings
-around-the-clock access
24. Envision use of materials to:
• dampen acoustical noise
• encourage use of library materials
• encourage collaboration (giant screens)
25. • In the architectural firm (because this is
another partnership)
• In the ability to "figure it out as the
partnerships develops" (because there are
few models--in fact, inspire a new model)
26. Insert library services in:
• retail spaces
• parks and leisure areas
• senior centers
• cultural enclaves
• eateries and coffee houses
27. Self-service technologies -- library services
are possible where they are needed.
Enis, Matt. "HELPING USERS HELP THEMSELVES." Library Journal 137, no. 14
(September 2012)
28. The Design Must Be Appropriate, for the
Capital Cost of a Library is Very High
This is True for a Community Library or an
Academic Library
29. Capital Costs
For an Academic Library the Cost Is About $250 to $300
per square foot (2006)
◦ Thus, a 100,000 square foot library would be about $30 million
• Public Libraries Have Similar Costs, Some Even More On a
$ per square foot basis
◦ Range $200/square foot to $726/square foot (Ballard Library in
Seattle)
◦ Therefore a 15,000 square foot branch library would be $4.5
million at $300 per square foot
• If We Look at Cost per Student for Academic Libraries, it is
an Average of $6,000 per Student (some as high as
$32,000 per student!)
30. Operating Costs More Difficult to Determine
2011 Survey by Publisher‟s Communication Group Provides
Relative Breakdown of Library Operating Expenses
◦ Salary is 46%, or about one-half, more or less what we would expect
◦ Operating expenses – 12%, not very high
◦ Materials 42%, of which serials or periodicals are the biggest portion,
27% of the overall operating expense (64% of materials cost).
◦ Books are only 9% of overall operating expenses (22% of material cost)
Materials Could Be for Print or for Electronic Information
Resources
◦ Nearly 60% of material costs are for electronic media (2010)
◦ In comparison, about 30% for Electronic Information Resources in 2004
– a clear rapid shift
◦ Cost per serial is about $162 per year
◦ Nearly every library takes e-journals. More than half of the journals are
in electronic format only.

Value in society
Traditional role
“Perhaps we should turn our attention away from the electric
library that others have built and focus on the real books and
buildings that made us what we were to begin with…. Or
perhaps not. Perhaps we have new rules to play in the digital
world or old roles to play in a new way. Let‟s think about
that.” ~Steve Coffman (VP, Library Support Services)

This article aims to present a way for the library to become “a central player in the
digitized information landscape”. The core competencies of the library profession--skills,
knowledge, and serving user needs--have changed. In the present world, information-
seeking tools have become user-friendly, causing traditional reference services to fall
out of favor. Librarians are no longer the gatekeepers of knowledge. Libraries are eager
to regain that lost relevance in their community by eagerly adopting new technologies,
but Bosanquet argues they are doing so in an ad hoc way. Moreover, the brand of the
library continues to be books--books people no longer need or read. Bosanquet
identifies a niche market for libraries in managing the overabundance of information
through forging partnerships with content providers and meeting the user in their own
domain. Informing future change involves learning more about the information-seeking
behaviors of the millennial generation and developing a framework for a structured
digital environment. Bosanquet concludes by calling on libraries to recognize and define
their value and communicate it widely.

2008.
This book comes from the perspective of a librarian with a background in marketing who took her
library through the branding process. She conveys how marketing and branding relate to each
other, and who should be involved in the process. Of importance is knowing who the target
audience is while developing brand that has a unique message and visual identity that defines
library and reaches community. Her approach was to evaluate the current brand and materials,
create a meaningful and memorable tagline, and design an appealing logo. Then select brand
advocates who can train staff on how to implement a business tool in a nonprofit environment,
and identify marketing tools and if outside help is needed. Is the brand working? It is important to
maintain the brand by building relationships with users through blogs, etc. One must clarify false
false assumptions about branding and look to learn from other libraries who have branded
themselves. This book does a good job communicating how a library should go about branding
themselves.

(September 2012), Academic Search Premier, EBSCOhost (accessed September 13, 2012).
This article takes a look at self-service technologies--such as ebook download terminals and
tablet computer check-out kiosks, and how they a) raise the visibility of services and library
collections, drawing more foot traffic to new patrons; b) allow library staff more time for reference
assistance; c) allow for cost benefits; d) raise the profile of ebooks; e) allow access to people with
no web connectivity; and f) help to dispense knowledge. Since this is a newer technology, the
response and success is still be monitoring, but so far so good. There is an increase in benefits
all around, and such self-service stations look to be a fixture in our future. With examples galore
from actual libraries and existing terminals, this is a good reference for augmenting our resources
for relativizing library services..

Community. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions, 2009.
This book provides guidance for library professionals interested in community
building. Hill, who was recently hired as the Community Relations Director at the
OCLC, emphasizes the importance of identifying your community‟s needs and
working with your community to address those needs. In a time when people are
questioning the relevance of libraries, engaging with and building community are
essential to our success.
James, Roger. “Out of the box - Freescale: How free models scale in the
world of information.” Business Information Review 29, no. 2 (2012).
This article posits certain factors that libraries should consider when drawing up a
strategy for future change. While libraries were early innovators in the field of
information technology, that innovation led to a sort of institutional path
dependence. Moreover, the very environment the library created is threatened by
“professionally naive entrepreneurs [who] can set pace and revolutionize our
profession.” James believes the answer to regaining control over the domain of
information lies in learning to manipulate the market economy of the digital realm,
where scarcity and surplus are managed not by the traditional model of supply
and demand, but by arbitrary creations thereof. Thus, while the library offers a
traditionally free service, by mastering the economics of the social internet in
offering digital content to public, they can potentially compete in an industry driven
by competition and offering various routes to „free‟.
53. Murvosh, Marta. "Powerful Partnerships." Library Journal (May 16, 2012),
Academic Search Premier, EBSCOhost (accessed September 13, 2012).
This article looks at library partnerships with realized examples of: shared buildings,
shared building sites, integrated public and academic library services, and mixed -
use developments (library and condominium). Each scenario breaks down the
information of the project to: the architect and entities involved; associated project,
construction, and site costs; population served; square footage; and so on. Of
particular interest are the profiles of integrated libraries, and how both the community,
served by the public library, and college, served by their academic library, stand to
benefit with the merger. The library staff as well as patrons appear to learn, grow,
and thrive in these newly created spaces, though there can be challenges as well in
the blending of the two library cultures, especially for the staff. Since each case is
uniquely different, it is useful to examine them for the opportunities as well as the
possible threats to successful services integration in regards to our situation.

Walton, Graham. “Theory, research, and practice in library management 5:
branding.” Library Management 29 (2008) Library, Information Science &
Technology Abstracts, EBSCOhost (accessed September 20, 2012).
This article talks about how libraries can benefit from having an effective brand
so library users can be informed of the services rendered. Looking to other
popular brands and libraries that have created their own unique identity can
serve as examples of how to formulate a brand strategy. He talks about why
brands are needed and how libraries have been focused on this idea for over 30
years. People are not aware of what the library can actually do for them so
branding gives libraries a chance to redefine themselves. Finding the library‟s
niche is what will distinguish it from the competition. In essence, all libraries have
their own brands, and should they re-brand?
Editor's Notes
I did not just define relevance. Communication is not relevance, but it is the means by which relevance operates and is established. Relevance is when the flow of information finds the proper outlets (or inlets)—not sure what kind of metaphor that is. It’s not so easy to describe, but maybe we know what it looks like.
Hundreds of libraries still being built. Many remodeled as well. Christopher Stewart studied 85 libraries in detail. His study gives us some idea of new design directions.Libraries are large, one new one was over 400,000 square feet.Even branch libraries are substantial.
Even more than in the past, libraries are the focal point and symbol of academic life for most university campuses. Nevertheless, design concepts and functions of the libraries are changing.
Libraries are now learning centers that combine social and learning spaces.Layout is more flowing, and flexible, than libraries of the past. Moreover, libraries have to be designed for ease of future changes.
Library capital costs are a formidable management issue. The design and usefulness must be right.

Another example of people fighting to stay relevant are newspapers… The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and The New York Times have continued to circulateHe talks about how different people want the news different ways whether in print, on the air, or the web. Isn’t this true for libraries too?
