Strategic Academic Priorities• Advance the Libraries' transition from print to digital collections

– Enable departmental/college savings, faculty productivity– Develop cost-effective, multi-institutional models of collection access

& management.

• Integrate information discovery and management tools and services into the workflow of students and faculty– Enhance faculty productivity, student learning effectiveness.

• Expedite the dissemination and preservation of researchers’ scholarship through new models of electronic publication– Educate campus about copyright ownership & use, influence public

policy on copyright and open access.– Increase visibility of UMN research, enhance reputation of faculty

• Integrate information literacy competencies into curriculum and practice , provide collaborative learning spaces – Facilitate student learning outcomes & goals of liberal and

professional education.

Drivers of Libraries’ Costs• Academic Programs & initiatives• Publishing trends, market (also driven by

discipline and academy trends)• Intellectual property laws & models,

contracts/licenses• Technology development & adoption • Research methodologies and teaching/learning

strategies• Faculty/student behavior
