Carl Sagan, CosmosRandom House, New York, 1980 p. 282

“The library connects us with insights and knowledge, painfully extracted from nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species.” p. 282

This is the essence of scholarly communication and the primary role of the academic library.

The changing patterns of research and learning in higher educationAs part of a university or college, the academic library is not an end in itself. It supports research, learning and scholarship and has always had to adapt as research and learning behaviors change. In the current network environment, this change is uneven and poses great challenges for libraries. p. 11

“The underlying focus for budgetary attention, whether times are flush or flushed, should be a concern to get the most value out of each dollar spent.” P. 394



“Possibly the most well-known intersection of automation and consortia has been the “Big Deal”, or variations on group electronic journal licensing, with the resultant tremendous increase in journal literature access for patrons and the leveraging of the collection’s dollar this model of of journal purchase has made possible.” p. 400



“The most common misunderstanding involving the “Big Deal” and its variants is that it is a mechanism to save money and reduce library expenditures.” P. 401



“Being able to spread the operating and development costs among multiple libraries minimizes duplication of effort, builds a facility that all members can use, and creates a collective body of content.” P. 406

“Two proven innovation strategies are the common-course redesign strategy and the flex program and service redesign strategy. These strategies use IT innovatively to improve accountability-that is, to improve and account for institutional performance-whenever measurably improved academic results and reduced unit costs are simultaneous goals.” p. 79

“With a few important [ IT ] exceptions, these investments did not directly seek to reduce long-term unit costs and/or dampen spiraling tuition increases and, not surprisingly, did not do so whether or not they used technology to enable innovation. As a result, these “innovations” did these “innovations” did not increase productivitynot increase productivity but instead either added to long-term operating expenditures or proved unsustainable after the loss of special funding. p. 84

“At UMass, attendance in the traditional format averaged 67 percent; in the redesigned course, attendance averaged 90 percent, which correlated significantly to performance on exams.

In addition exams no longer emphasize recall of factual material or definitions of terms; 67 percent of the questions now require reasoning or problem-solving skills, compared with 21 percent previously” p. 32

“Currently in higher education, both on campus and online, we individualize faculty practice (that is, we allow individual faculty members great latitude in course development and delivery) and standardize the student learning experience (that, is we treat all students in a course as if their learning needs, interests, and abilities were the same). Instead we need to do just the opposite: individualize student learning and standardize faculty practice. ” p. 38

“ Bankers don’t market “distance banking” or label customers as ‘traditional’ of ‘nontraditional’. They realize that different customers have different needs and preferences for obtaining services. Banks also know that time-shifted online self-service can reduce costs while increasing customer satisfaction, which is why they frequently offer incentives for self-service.” p. 86

SatisfactionSatisfaction



““SatisfactionYet most library visitors also bypass the reference desk, boldly setting off to find answers on their own. The indisputable fact is that information and content on the open Web is far easier and more convenient to find and access than are information and content in physical or virtual libraries. The information consumer types a term into a search box, clicks a button and sees results immediately. The information consumer is satisfied.” p. 4

““SeamlessnessThe traditional separation of academic, leisure and work time is fusing into a seamless world aided by nomadic computing devices that support multiple activities. This phenomenon is most marked among young adults. Their world is a seamless “infosphere” where the boundaries of work, play and study are gone, a marked contrast to the compartmentalized lifestyles of their parents.

SeamlessnessSeamlessness



““SeamlessnessContrast this seamless world with the one students experience at most libraries. Library environments still cater to an older generation with separate spheres of information, frequently designating different computers for access to library content than the ones used for e-mail and writing papers. p. 4

Proliferation of e-learningE-learning has a presence in most large corporations and in an ever increasing number of college and university courses.

The changing patterns of research and learning in higher educationCurrently, there are no settled patterns or standards. As well, the outputs of digital scholarship are often in complex and nonstandard forms. The academic community will need to develop a better understanding of ways in which scholarship and learning activities are created, used, reused and preserved in the digital environment. p. 11



The changing patterns of research and learning in higher educationIt is clear that a new ecology and a new economy for scholarly materials are being formed. In the past, the flow of research and learning outputs traveled through formal, linear publishing mechanisms. We are seeing the emergence of a variety of repository frameworks, metadata aggregation services, and richer content interconnection and repurposing that are changing how we think about data and its uses. p. 11
