Slide 7
The Case for Change We need a model that: supports systemwide
services and the way we work now, via cross functional teams with
knowledge of practices such as scholarly publishing, web archiving,
rights management, and data curation; focuses on Council of
University Librarians (CoUL) goals and priorities; supports
communication, collaboration, and project management relative to
systemwide services; encourages and advances innovative ideas from
anywhere within the structure. 7

of development: strategic planning, design, implementation,
operations, and continual improvement. Promote effective
collaboration, communication and project management relative to
shared library services across the ten UC campus libraries and the

the Council of University Librarians and set forth in the
