The network reconfigures the record?

Faculty: what establishes credentials,

contributes to professional advancement

Library: what is selected, preserved

Researchers: what is necessary to

validate & build on current literature

Publishers: peer-reviewed content

Scholarly record: content & perspective

‘Meters’ :

what is cited

Stakeholder roles reconfiguring:

New paths for the scholarly communication supply chain

Format transition:

Print-centric to digital, networked

Framework

Boundaries blurring:

Articles/monographs, but

also research data, computer

models, video, blogs,

visualizations, conference

posters & presentations,

pre-prints, etc.

In practice:

Where does

the library fit

in this system?

Create

Fix

Use

Collect

Key characteristics impacting stewardship …

• Increasing volume of content

• Increasing diversity/complexity of content

• Increasing distribution of custodial responsibility

‘local copies’ of scholarly record are increasingly partial

discovery and management are increasingly fragmented

coherence of scholarly record is reduced

Stakeholders

Fragmentation

• Community consultation around framework

– Use cases for library assessment , alt-metrics,

collection development strategies, etc.

• Stewardship of ‘system-wide’ scholarly record

– Higher education trends that are driving

concentration/distribution of custodial roles

– Division of labor; incentives & benefits

– Coordination models; cooperative infrastructure
