Key Performance Areas
• Scholarly Communication and Research Infrastructures
• Reshaping the Research Library• Advocacy and Commuincation
Discussion in 6 groups
75 participants
General Comments• People enjoyed engagement and would like to discuss progress
next years• Positive comments on the general direction LIBER is going• Make a clear distinction between strategy, operational plan and
organisational change• Current economic situation requires more library cooperation and
enforces the need to make choices• There are too many goals. Prioritize!
Other General Comments
• This Strategic Plan often confuses strategies of its members and LIBER itself as a foundation
• Clarify how goals will be realized (SMART) and that resources are/can be made available
• EC projects: focus on projects that are supporting the strategic plan and not vice versa !
• Role of national libraries (and state libraries) not clear enough
Other General Comments (II)
• Plan is unbalanced. Not enough attention for role of library in education (e.g. Information literacy)
• Heritage collections and Special collections not clearly present in the 3 Action areas
• Existing groups could have been involved in drafting the strategy
• Organisational change of Steering committees is questioned
Other General Comments (III)
• Aligning the strategy of LIBER with (partner) organisations around us (eg. SPARC, CERL, Eblida)
• Balance needed between goals, voluntary effort of members and available resources in LIBER office
• See that existing groups (eg. Architecture Group, Manuscript group) are embedded in the new structure
• Articulate where LIBER stands for and present various choices as a logical consequence of it (e.g. Why newTEL, Europeana, COAR?)
Scholarly communication and Reseach Infrastructures
• Focus on research infrastructures = good• Why building new research infrastructures? Clarify this
and evaluate results of previous projects • Data management issues also relevant at national and
local level• Importance of metadata is missing• Single focus on Gold Open Access is questioned.
Scholarly Communication (II)
• Advocate massive digitisation• Heritage collections could be seen as a research tool
and hence as a part of the research infrastructure
Reshaping the Research Library
• This KPA is too much a potpourri• Leadership Seminar should be priority• Data management central skill to support KPA 1• Connect with library schools• Multirank study could be used as benchmarking tool
Advocacy and Communication
• Goals are unbalanced. Prioritize!• Advocacy needed on use of mobile technology• Translation into 20 languages questioned• Can LIBER support 25 LIBER ambassadors ?
Resources? • LIBER should promote that directors stimulate their staff
to participate in LIBER’s group work• Strategic plan requires a Communication plan
