We are now…
• Information consumers who are• Smarter• More empowered• More independent• More efficient• More trained• More dedicated• More impatient• More demanding

What does that mean to academic libraries?
![Page 13: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Decreasing reference requests
• “According to the ARL statistics, the number
of reference transactions went down by more
than 50-60 % since 1995.”- Anderson, Rick. 2011. “The Crisis in Research
Librarianship.” Journal of Academic Librarianship 37 (4):
289-290.
![Page 14: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Decreasing circulation

User behavior has changed
• “Unless current patterns change, by 2020
university libraries will no longer have
circulation desks.”- Kurt, Will. 2012. “The End of Academic Library
Circulation?” ACRL TechConnect.

Users prefer self-service even in reference /research
• Ask-an-expert sites (e.g., WikiAnswers) showed the largest five- year growth—136% increase. The frequency of use increased as well. The majority of college students who used these sites did so on an as-needed basis in 2005; now 30% search for answers at least monthly.
• College students are asking experts for help; are they asking librarians? Our survey results indicate that only a few are using online librarian question services—10% in 2010 vs. 8% in 2005. The number of academic libraries offering online reference services increased more than 10% from 2004 to 2008 (NCES).

Old paradigm
• In the era of information scarcity • Information was hard to find, obtain, access.
• This problem is solved by librarians’ mediation.• Libraries identify, acquire, organize, and
provide access to information.• Mediation by librarians was necessary for
identifying and accessing hard-to-find information efficiently.
• Great value was created by the mediation between library patrons and library staff.
![Page 18: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Traditional library services are designed
to solve information scarcity
by mediation.
![Page 19: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
But now,information is abundant.
And we are so much morecapable information
consumers with the Web.
![Page 20: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DIY – Users’ mindset today
• “You’re pretty good at helping me, thanks, but I’d really prefer to do more things by myself- and by the way, you don’t make that very easy for me.”
- Matthews, Brian. 2011. “Helping patrons help themselves,” Chronicle of Higher Education Blog Network. http://chronicle.com/blognetwork/theubiquitouslibrarian/2011/10/13/are-we-in-the-diy-era-helping-patrons-help-themselves/
![Page 21: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DIY mindset - background
• Not unique to library use• Common phenomenon influenced by the automation of
everyday service that we experience as a consumer.• WWW + Knowledge = DIY
• Who knows more about how to best print your digital photo? You or the person at Walgreens photo service?
• Can you file tax yourself rather than hiring an accountant?Yes, and it might be faster and more convenient!
• The line between experts and hobbyists is becoming more and more blurry. • Example: Etsy, Flickr, Instagram, etc.
![Page 22: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DIY Internet Radio Station
![Page 23: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DIY user behavior at libraries
• Avoiding contact with the library staff unless necessary
• Using an alternative to traditional library services• Giving up on time-consuming procedures• Prefers self-service• Practicing ‘Satisfice’• Wanting to learn by doing, not by sitting and
listening• Appreciation for tools that help them do the things
that they want to do by themselves (e.g. LibX)
![Page 24: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Moving in the right direction…
• Self-checkout machines• Drive-through windows• Vending machines with books and DVDs• Self-registration for library cards• Self-scheduling group study room and computer use• Self-pickup of holds • Self-directed printing • Self-service course reserves management by faculty• Convenience and empowerment for patrons• Staff efficiency for libraries
![Page 25: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
But our main message is unchanged.
“Come to the Library !”“Talk to Librarians !”
![Page 26: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“ Let us help you.”(=Go through us/ gatekeeping)
• ‘Ask a Librarian’• Reference desk• Classroom instruction• Literature search• Library workshop
![Page 27: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Still operatingin the old paradigm
• Attractions to draw more people to the library?• E-book readers, Starbucks, 3D printer…
• Improve the library’s physical space?• Create more contact opportunities online?
• Ask a Librarian, Text a Librarian!• Embedded into the curriculum• Librarian presence in the LMS• More classroom instruction
![Page 28: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Lukewarm responses …
• Help is less and less sought out where information is abundant.• “Can I just figure thist out by myself?”• ”Do I have time for this?”• “Is this something I must go through?”• “Can I do it later?”• “It sounds boring… ”
![Page 29: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
In spite of our best intentions
• Interaction-oriented service is likely to to be received
poorly because patrons are less likely to initiate it.
• Librarians’ mediation or assistance is often not necessary
for library patrons identifying and accessing information.
• And if any information system requires human mediation
or instruction, that may well make a patron think that
the system is inefficient.
• Users expect efficient systems that allow them to serve
themselves to meet their information needs.Kim (2011b).
![Page 30: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why?
Because now,what is precious and scarce
is information
people’s time and attention.
![Page 31: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Learning is changing…
• “I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.”

Now: Mediate when & where?
![Page 33: I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF: : Exploring new roles for libraries and mediating technologies in addressing the DIY mindset of library patrons](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554cc9d8b4c905e7268b4b54/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Be where people are. Be sought after; don’t run after.

Old paradigm: no longer relevant
Circulate books & journals.Look up things that are had to find.
Help then when askedTeach them proper research resources & methods.

Examples: physical /virtual
• Part II (Tod): How can libraries respond to the changing user behavior and expectations to draw in and energize the users of the physical library space ?
• Part III (Jason): How to leverage technology to create opportunities for mediation and dis-mediation opportunities that the library users online would welcome ?
