25 September 2011 IX International Conference on University Libraries
Objective
Conference: In 1996 the General Directorate of Libraries celebrated its thirtieth anniversary with a series of lectures and panel discussions in which the central idea was to imagine the features of the library of the future at that time. In this conference we intend to analyze how the library of the future is being built and how it would be in 15 years from now, in 2026.
Technological resources Panel: To analyze the prospective of technological infrastructure and its implementation in library services and activities.
Imagining Technical Infrastructure in Academic Libraries in 2026
Projections made on trends underway today
Disruptions can produce radically different long-term outcomes
Present an optimistic view that libraries will maintain key role in academic institutions
Acquire, manage, and deliver access to information in support of teaching and research
2011: Transition toward electronic and digital content
University Libraries increasing proportions of collections budgets toward electronic content.
E-Journals: 95%, E-Books minor factor Many libraries have programs to digitize
specialized local collections
2016: Growing dominance of digital
E-Journals: 100%, E-books increasing – few new print
acquisitions Legacy book collections mostly in print
Increasing availability of full-text for discovery (HathiTrust, Google Books, Open Library)
2026: Digital fully dominant
All new content acquired in electronic formats
E-Journals, E-books: all acquired and accessed electronically
Legacy collections fully digitized Full digitization of local specialized
collections
Need to reinvent how libraries manage collections and deliver services
Impact on Library Management Systems
2011: Integrated Library Systems Designed and developed to support print
collections Self-contained Communicate through library-specific
protocols Not programmed to manage electronic
content at the level of individual articles Not intended to manage collections of
digital objects New models of automation emerging…
2016: Transition to Library Services Platforms
New platforms take the stage Ex Libris Alma, OCLC Web-Scale
Management Services, Serials Solutions, Kuali OLE, (others?)
Basic design to manage resources of all formats and media
Reliance on collaboratively built and shared data models
Deployed through cloud technologies
What about Integrated Library Systems? (2016)
Continue to be operated in many academic libraries
Evolved toward increased capacity for managing electronic content
Supplemented by additional products specializing in managing electronic content and digital collections
2026: Mature infrastructure
Optimized for managing library collections of primarily digital and electronic content
Unified approach to resource management prevails Physical materials will represent a small minority of
active library collections Embrace standards of the broader IT environment
XML, RDF, open linked data Nice to be optimistic, but throughout the history
of library automation, changes have outpaced development.
2011: Early transition
Legacy Client/server products dominate library automation
Most current implementations based on local computer hardware
Software as a Service offerings launched – pioneering phase
Internet Bandwidth continues to restrain adoption in many regions and sectors
2016: Service-based computing gains ground
New-generation products designed specifically for service deployment widely implemented
Legacy products evolve toward multi-tenant SaaS
Internet Bandwidth continues to restrain adoption in many regions and sectors
2026: Cloud computing as the Norm
Internet bandwidth plentiful Digital divide mostly closed on a macro
level Local servers rare, if not extinct End-user access exclusively delivered
through mobile devices, including new genres of devices not yet imagined
What about Open Source Software in 2026?
As computing moves to the cloud, license models become less relevant
Cooperative open source / community source projects will compete vigorously with commercially licensed products
Extensively, interoperability, and control gained through services oriented design (API)
Both models delivered primarily though providers Generally a service-driven economy rather than
license based Open source alternatives will be functionally
competitive with fully commercial offerings.
2011: The current state of discovery
Online Catalogs of ILS modules dominate, increasing numbers of academic libraries implement separate discovery products
Index-based search emerges Summon, Primo/Primo Central, EBSCO Discovery
Service, WorldCat Local Indexes growing, but incomplete. Based primarily on
citation-level metadata for articles, MARC for books Relevancy algorithms primitive Increasing numbers of publishers and providers
cooperate with library discovery services Open Discovery Initiative launched October 2011
2016: Discovery Services Mature
Majority of academic libraries implement index-based discovery
Most publishers cooperate with discovery services Marginalized if they don’t
Relevancy improves to include increased social and user-oriented factors
Basic services related to electronic assets Tools to allow users to consume library
content in more meaningful ways
2026: Full library experience through the Web
All library resources available through unified discovery services
Full content exposed: full-text of books and articles Visual retrieval of images and video Audio retrieval of audio an video
Sophisticated services offered along with discovery
Will be tightly integrated with management systems
Physical spaces complement digital realities
Spaces for collaborative learning and research;
Services in support of research data management Organization, metadata, access,
preservation Aligned with mandates for transparent
research data Mature management and access to
library-provided content frees information professionals in the library for deeper collaboration with information needs of faculty in teaching and research
