Data defines the networked information environment
The consumer platform . . . an addressable, self-improving knowledge-base
251 Norwegian authors [ +/-4 % ]
?
The consumer platform . . . maximizes reference-ability exposes ‘hooks’ for social interaction
The consumer platform . . . excels at aggregating and ‘sorting out’ demand
My preferences

Ranas fjell og gruver

Read. Review. Remember. + Remix
Social reading ‘in the flow’
GoodReadsBookSpaceKindleFindings#FridayReads etc.
Social reading … in a crowded space?
The library platform . . . excels at ‘sorting out’ supply
(29)
The library platform . . . excels at aggregating, enriching, structuring data
~150 years of publication history
The library platform . . . embodies a particular domain model

Names matter personal, corporate, geographic uniform titles Relationships matter works, expressions, manifestations; roles Identifiers matter ISBN, LCCN, OCLC etc.
Outside in: Books, journals, DVDs, … (Bought and licensed)
Aim: to discover …
Inside out: institutional assets: special collections, research and learning materials, institutional records, …
Aim: to have discovered …(With thanks to Lorcan Dempsey)
Collections: Reconfigured
Decreasing investment in local print collection,
increasing reliance on licensed electronic
Growing emphasis on Customer Relationship Management

Shift in demand – greater reliance on digital formats
Demand for print has leveled off while inventory continues to grow

Collections: inside-out
Infrastructure (space & tools) for increased productivity
Library value less about ‘commodity’ collections more about support for the research process: CRISTIN DUO/NORA
A look in the rear-view mirror . . . Ca. 2006
Collections Emphasis: Outside-In

Increasing national research capacity
Increased reliance on performance and
publication indicators
Growing the ‘Creative Class’: Norway’s next great natural resource?

The next generation of Norwegian researchers . . .
will require a new kind of HE environment

Digital Residents
Digital library agenda is key to ‘virtualization’ of research enterprise: it maximizes impact in the network

This pool continues to shrink
Majority of research libraries shifting toward
e-centric acquisitions, service model
Shrinking pool of libraries with mission and resources to sustain print preservation as ‘core’ operation – 25?

If robust digital preservation and access system were available: “74% of respondents said that the withdrawal of print books would be an important strategy for their libraries in the future …A large majority of libraries (84%) said that they would be more likely to withdraw their [digitized and digitally preserved] print book collections if they could access print copies of books through a trusted sharing network.“ Source: Ithaka S+R Library Survey 2010

[The network reconfigures the library]
A closing reflection. If libraries are to see themselves
‘on the map’ in the global network,in tomorrow’s knowledge base,
We must build a cooperative platform together.
