The ‘recombinant’ libraryThe ‘recombinant’ library
– Distributed– Heterogeneous– Recombinant– Interoperability becomes
very real
• Resource environment– Distributed– Heterogeneous– Recombinant– Interoperability becomes
very real
User environmentUser environment Resource environmentResource environment
Modular servicesModular services
• Library Channels– e.g. QuestionPoint in WebCT
• Metadata for everything• Standards-based
Interoperability as recombinant potentialInteroperability as recombinant potential
• Disaggregating scholarly publishing– Linking, Identifiers
• ‘Play’ learning objects– Packaged
• Federated searching– Fusing metadata
• Processing content• Ingesting content• ‘Plugging in’ services
• Examples– Can I add a document to
a repository?– Can I add a repository to
a distributed query?– Can I fuse metadata from
one repository with another?
– Can I aggregate these resources into a learning package?
Recombinant organizationRecombinant organization
• Existing– Shared cataloguing– Resource sharing– Shared access to journal
literature
• Emerging
– Tiered catalog access– Archiving– Collection mapping– Collaborative collection
assessment, consolidation, development
– Resolution – streamlining access to the commodity literature
– Virtual reference– Harvesting
OverviewOverview
• Libraries serve research and learning– Scholarly communication– Fold resources into
learning • Federation/Portal• Institutional repository• Resolution – D2D• Learning management• Organizational and
institutional development
• New cooperative, service, and technical patterns
