"Strategy." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. 8 Jun. 2009. Wikimedia Foundation. 22 Aug. 2006 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategies
A strategystrategy is a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. The word strategy has military connotations, because it derives from the Greek word for army.[1]Strategy is different from tactics. In military terms, tactics is concerned with the conduct of an engagement while strategy is concerned with how different engagements are linked. In other words, how a battle is fought is a matter of tactics: whether it should be fought at all is a matter of strategy.

Leveraging the approaches typified by Web 2.0’s principles and technology offers libraries many opportunities to serve their existing audiences better, and to reach out to potential beneficiaries where they happen to be, and in association with the task that they happen to be undertaking.
A natural language knowledge base makes it possible to answer specific questions that are likely to be asked repeatedly by other users but perhaps in a slightly different manner.
Web 2.0 offers a lot of opportunities for librarians to develop new services for clients that are more personalized and customized with direct user input. Web 3.0 is likely to provide even greater accelerated learning options.

“The goal of the NJIT Information Literacy Plan is to ensure that NJIT undergraduate (UG) students graduate with adequate and competitive information literacy (IL) skills This plan is intended to meet and/or exceed the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) IL skills accreditation requirements and the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education (NJCHE) academic licensure rules.”

“The revised standards for accreditation in the Middle States Region, especially the emphasis on information literacy as a meta-outcome, could have an impact on higher education in at least three areas: long range planninglong range planning, especially with especially with regard to assessmentregard to assessment, a change in the institution dialogue a change in the institution dialogue about student learningabout student learning, and increased collaborationincreased collaboration woven into the campus culture.”p. 374

“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

Information Literacy education on campus could become a prototype for a whole new higher education model of interactive, multimedia, student engaged learning freed from the constraints or credit hours and standard semesters and, even sometimes from the classroom with librarians providing leadership.

“As mentioned above, Web 2.0 is participative. That participation is often seen to be on the part of end-users such as bloggers, and this is certainly true. For libraries and associated organisations, though, there is equal scope for participation. We need to work together.We need to work together. Libraries, library systems vendors, publishers, standards bodies, government agencies, more. None of us can do all of this alone, and all of us stand to benefit from doing it together.”

“Change will require collective actioncollective action, and such action will be impossible unless people are closer in spirit with regard to risk. We need to experiment and develop opportunities for work in new sectors or new alignments with different organizations. There is a cost to not taking a risk—a danger that libraries will become stuck in a niche that becomes smaller and smaller. p. 2

“In publishing, open access (OA) is free online free online accessaccess to articles that have traditionally been published in scholarly journals. Most open access material in this context is distributed via the World Wide Web. OA articles usually have limited copyright and licensing restrictions.”

“There are several variations in open access publishing:"Gold OA": A fully open access journal hosted by the publisher with no barriers to online access.[citations needed] Hybrid open access journals provide open access only for some articles, those for which payment is made on behalf of the author. Delayed open access journals open access to particular articles only after a period of embargo. "Green OA" is open access self-archiving (deposit by its authors) of material which may have been published as non-open access.[citations needed] Non-open access distribution is called "toll access" or "subscription access". ”

“Another area requiring attention and leadership is the development of innovative and effective business models for sustaining digital resources. Business planning plays a critical role in this environment and provides one of the most interesting areas for experimentation. Business planning in this field requires having a grasp of real costs. Models for covering those costs include subscription-based revenue streams, open open access funded by university budgetsaccess funded by university budgets, or grant funding for individual projects or collective infrastructure/staffing. All these projects come with significant costs, whether we call the resulting resources open access or revenue-supported projects.” p.40

“With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a multinational group of libraries is developing the design for an Open Library Environment (OLE), an alternative to the current model of an Integrated Library System. The goal is to produce a design document to inform open source library system development efforts, to guide future library system implementations, and to influence current Integrated Library System vendor products.”
