Reshaping Tasks/ Abstract
Paolo Budroni, University of Vienna, Library and Archive Services
[Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice]
Research libraries are rapidly changing shapes. They are currently evolving into new ICT-driven, research environments.These have the opportunity to play a major role in building cross-disciplinary teams, in servicing the research community, and in integrating archival sciences and businesses. Upon this, they must also face challenges resulting from their past and their traditions. Contemplating this new landscape means also to consider their future role as an active partner for researchers, teachers, students, administration, and how they can not only maintain and deliver well structured information, but also become an area of innovation, a social area, a teaching area, a learning area, and, of course, to be established as a renowned digital and analogue research library.

Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
Re-definition of roles ?
Do we really need a re-branding ?
How to cope with transformations in law, in society, in budget, in
tasks…?
Who defines the rules?

Closing the gap to the “next generation”Commercial “Content provider” vs. “Real content provider”What came first: form or content?Research Libraries : “Content provider” vs. “Service provider”
Going beyond the usual technology-dependent advice and
methods

Arising questions Rethinking
Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
What really matters is not weather a particular system is
perfect or true (“true” is an arbitrary term), but rather how well
it functions for the respective user/user groups.
Not only “convergence of technologies The convergence of
knowledge
Efficiency is the measure of this “truth”

27
Open the settings and the systems to Multiplicity
Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
Code for selection – rethinking the guide for action/ 1
Adopt Lightness
Have preferences for Quickness
E.g. creation of codified opportunities for the researchers, such as codified chat rooms or institutional blog (publish, share, quote, comment)
E.g. lightness of the information structured in accordance with generally accepted standards complete opportunity to store everything into an institutional repository quickly, easily and inexpensivelyUse of persistent signatures (for digital objects and for authors)
E.g. The user may never get lost in the system

28
Invest resources in Exactitude
Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
Code for selection- rethinking the guide for action/ 2
E.g. semantic and sintactic accuracy in the structure of information No “blank spaces” should exist, avoid “null values”
E.g. not only the visibility of the library Institutional blogs
Increase Visibility

Cross-disciplinary approach, convergence of knowledge is needed
Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
Conclusions/ 1
Structure the research community round the research library issue
Re-define the role of users: data provider and consumers
Cross-disciplinary teams that integrate computer science and
linguistics with library, archival science and business
Introduce a policy of open and free access not only for the
consumption of published information, but also in the very
process of publishing itself
Assign more functions and more rights to the users

Reshaping Tasks – The Future Role of Research Libraries: Moving from Research to Practice
Conclusions /2
Take seriously the “next generation”
End-user should be in a position to be able to implement the knew
knowledge gained by linking it with other content (e.g. online),
formation of data sets inside of the system/repository, form
virtual dossiers or new digital books
Enhance information transfer and communication between users
(data suppliers and consumers) designing your Institutional
Repository as a multimedia marketing tool
Effectiveness is the measure, not the tradition
Offer special training and expertise to thel library staff
