Digital challenges
Present architecture is systems-driven
Needs to be user-centric UCL¶s requirements do not fit all modules
Federated searching via MetaLib not heavily used
E-Learning platform missing?
Flexible management information generated by any library staff member
New services
Digital curation and digital preservation of institutional content Join-up with campus-wide systems
Student Systems, Finance Systems, Alumni systems
Networked versus institutional provision?

Key Strategic Questions
British Museum Reading Room is traditional model
Library pulls readers into library space
In a networked and global environment, library is just one content provider
In UCL, STM researchers hardly ever set foot into a physical library space Digital material is pushed to them electronically at their desktop
Should the Library push stuff out to where the student is (e.g. Facebook)?
Is an institutional portal helpful in providing a one-stop shop for theuser to navigate both local and remote content and services?
Thanks to Lorcan Dempsey for this metaphor and discussion

User response:
The µGoogle Generation¶?
Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future
See http://www.bl.uk/news/2008/pressrelease20080116.html
Research undertaken by CIBER at UCL
All age groups revealed to share µGoogle Generation¶ traits
Young people
Rely heavily on search engines
View rather than read
Do not possess the critical or analytical skills needed to assess the
information they find on the web
This has implications for the development of digital strategies

E-Journals
E-Journal delivery to desktop now standard Publisher backfiles a high priority
Paper copy? Current issues of paper copies cancelled?
Challenge is multiple copies of back-runs of paper journals, particularly inScience, Technology and Medicine (STM), in university library stores
UK Research Reserve being funded by HEFCE to provide a copy of lastresort, with document delivery option See http://www.curl.ac.uk/projects/CollaborativeStorage/Home.htm
Arrangements for second and third copies around UK being overseen bySCONUL as part of developments
De-duplication of paper holdings across sector a possible outcome

E-Books
SuperBook project at UCL
Collaboration between UCL Library Services and UCL¶s School of Library Archive and Information Studies
See http://www.ucl.ac.uk/slais/research/ciber/superbook/
µWith e-books available directly from anywhere on or off campus, andportable readers capable of holding more than 100 books, the traditionalacademic library will need to examine the way it manages and deliversbook collections. It is the users who will drive the e-book story forward;and, unlike earlier formats, no one is watching the users of this new breedof µsuper books¶
Final Report available in Summer 2008
Thanks to Dr Ian Rowlands, UCL SLAIS, for the following slides from aWorkshop at King¶s College Cambridge, 30 August 2007

E-Book issues
E-Books the next major form of content to be available digitally?
Business Models Monograph publishing is supported by sales to individuals
What is the driver for publishers to move to E-Book delivery?
Discovery and Retrieval How is the mass of available content to be located and made available for
discovery?
De-duplicated
FRBRized (for e- and paper copy) and different editions available in one search
Whose role is it to do this?
Vendors, Third Parties, Libraries«?
Metadata standards for E-Books need to mature And to develop down to chapter, section and paragraph level for inclusion in E-
Learning offerings

Pan-European developments
LIBER and EBLIDA held a pan-European Digitisation Workshop inCopenhagen in October 2007
See http://www.libereurope.eu/node/142
25 recommendations to discuss with European Commission on 2June 2008
Vision for European digitisation activity ± need for joined up thinking
Content ± need for European selection criteria
Resource discovery ± need for portal development Copyright and IPR ± particularly around licensing and orphan works
Standards and policies ± need for registries of identifiers and metadatastandards
Business Models ± pricing and costing models; need for EU funding
Digital Preservation ± definition of role and responsibilities

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
European Universities Association
European Universities Association endorsed Open Access on 26March 2008 See http://www.eua.be/index.php?id=354
Recommendations for University Leadership The basic approach for achieving this [Open Access] should be the
creation of an institutional repository or participation in a shared repository
University institutional policies should require that their researchersdeposit (self archive) their scientific publications in their institutionalrepository upon acceptance for publication
University policies should include copyright in institutional intellectualproperty rights (IPR) management
University institutional policies should explore also how resources could befound and made available to researchers for author fees to support theemerging ³author pays model´ of open access

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
European Universities Association
Recommendations for National Rectors¶ Conferences
All National Rectors¶ Conferences should work with national researchfunding agencies and governments in their countries to implement therequirement for self archiving of research publications in institutionalrepositories and other appropriate open access repositories
National Rectors¶ Conferences should attach high priority to raising theawareness of university leadership to the importance of open accesspolicies in terms of enhanced visibility, access and impact of their research
results Recommendations for the European University Association
EUA should continue to contribute actively to the policy dialogue on Open Access at the European levels with a view to a self archiving mandate for all research results arising from EU research programme/project funding

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Open Access can result in achange of culture
In Arts and Humanities, some/many(?) Ph.D. dissertations are
published as monographs Good print run for such a monograph is 400 copies
But repository downloads are much higher«
In UCL example, 131, 126 and 124 per month
Good for research and good for the researcher
Is conventional monograph publishing for research dissertations
yesterday¶s news?
Is this an area where Open Access adds tremendous value?
Will current orthodoxy of publishing research theses as monographs
survive?

UK Research Data Service
UKRDS
RLUK (Research Libraries UK ± formerly CURL) and RUGIT (Russell
Group IT Directors) have issued an Invitation to Tender £200,000 from HEFCE for a Feasibility Study into the development of
a shared digital research data service for UK Higher EducationInstitutions
Locally, there is uncertainty about the costs involved in managing largedata volumes and the availability of a suitably skilled workforce tomanage the new challenges posed by data curation
Feasibility Study will address the need not just for storage capacity butfor active management of the creation, selection, ingestion, storage,retrieval and preservation of research data - the data lifecycle
