So, is there a future for academic libraries? Personally I think in the near future we will see the end of the academic library as we know it.

Strategic goals for Stockholm university library 2014
• The library support its users in finding relevant information resources
• The library gives quick access to information resources
- no matter where the users are- stop focusing on the library
- demand driven media policy- focus on delivery

Strategy for information retrieval
• Adapt to how users de facto are seeking information
• All relevant resources do not fit in one ”google like search box”
• Quit building and branding ”our own” services- EDS is one tool among many- LIBRIS (the union catalog) is our catalog
• Services that doesn’t add value to Google et al will be cancelled

Delivery, delivery, delivery!
• What we ”have” doesn’t matter, what matters is how fast we can deliver
• Suggested acquisitions, ILL, stack retrievals – what’s the difference?
• From link resolver to ”delivery hub”

Electronic publishing gives great opportunities for a faster and broader spread of the works of researchers and students. […] As a rule, libraries have a more or less pronounced responsibility to coordinate these efforts in cooperation with researchers and students.

The Final Frontier: the library turning 180 degrees and switching from consumption to production of publications. According to some people university libraries are very suitable and qualified to become scholarly publishers.

Publishing as it currently exists requires a number of specific skills that have nothing to do with librarian expertise. […] But of course the publishing process can and probably will change.

Sustaining vs. disruptive innovation
2023-04-12
/ Anders Söderbäck, Stockholms universitetsbibliotek
Libraries need a next generation platform that is generic, scalable, multi tenant and able to meet all user expectations while keeping TCO to a minimum. The new digital environment is mobile. Therefore we need an extensible, modular framwork which will leverage the cloud by outsourcing delivery of enhanced marc records. We think of this as a unified virtual index with RESTful API:s, embedded in a federated structure of linked open data.
(PS. Is AJAX still cool?)

Hybrid innovation
• Includes both the old and the new technology
• It targets existing customers, rather than nonconsumers
• It tries to do the job of the preexisting technology.
• Does not significantly reduce the level of wealth and/or expertise needed
