oNo support (until you change things)– Digital
oNot for 2007 – moving this way now– ‘Learning Village’
oEmbrace shift to digitaloReuse space taken up by print collectionsoEmbed Library in research and teaching plans

New structure
• Abolished special libraries
• No ‘front-room/back-room’; team work and integration encouraged
• No technical services department; no ‘reference’ department
• Structure reflects importance of digital information and online services

Self-help
• Self-help suits online environment
• 90% of borrowing is self-help
• RightNow software installed 2013
• Knowledge Base develops in response to client needs
• With 50,000 students, we have to enable self-sufficiency
![Page 22: Wells future libraries toronto 0501 unsw](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/545405f9b1af9f88228b48a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stop doing things or do them differently
• No information literacy classes – all students must complete online tutorial and quiz called ELISE (Enabling Library and Information Skills for Everyone). Cannot re-enrol unless passed
• No EndNote classes – this became an industry. Provide online self-help
• Outsource ‘traditional’ technical services – eg, print processing
