IN THE BEGINNING…
3/22/12
Hey, libraries are really catching the raw
end of this scholarly publishing deal!
I know! Let’s build a repository for pre-prints,
ad faculty will deposit their works there to make them
more easily accessible!

preparation
bulk ingest
digitization
digital humanities
ETDs
researcher profiles
journal hosting
research data
did I mention data?

MY OPINION
February 13, 2012 INLS 513: Spring 2012
Repositories are going to be an important part of the evolving scholarly
communication landscape
But not as central as we originally
imagined
IR and related services will be increasingly distributed
throughout the staff in academic libraries.
Including subject specialists.
IR and digital library efforts will be increasingly integrated

MOVING FROM PROJECT TO PROGRAM
• No longer enough to just put a few resources online• No longer enough to have all DL work done in one
department• Collaborative efforts are becoming the norm• Efficiencies of scale• Involving new types of partners / expanding opportunities• Less duplication of effort

SO HOW DO WE KEEP DOING ALL OF THIS?
• Even the strongest connection to library and academic mission are not enough• Build business planning into the skill set of
librarians• Use shared technical architectures• Be thinking about sustainability issues from the
very beginning• Partner• Focus on something shorter than “forever”

ARE YOU READY?
• Libraries and librarianship are changing.• We increasingly produce information rather than
simply providing access to it.• Our work is more collaborative than ever.• How will you contribute?
