At the TU Delft Library, we have made a decisive choice for digitalisation. This means that wherever possible we will offer E-only services. Only if digital resources arenot possible, will we also offer physical services.

Elgg :: Personal Learning Landscape

NetLibrary Publishers’ Summit

I suggest that the key strategic challenge for information professionals is that many involved in shaping the future of e-learning do not see the relevance of our content and services to their endeavours. Rebranding is needed to transform “library” and “published” content into “learning tools”.

Imperative is to release value in the user environment

1. In the flow

2. Ensemble: recombinant services

3. Liquid linkable content

Workflow as ‘intermediate’ consumer

Search engine, CMS, RSS, download, …

No service is the sole focus of user attention

Plug into multiple channels for discovery, location, fulfilment, …

Gather, create, share Search, link, reuse,

analyse, chunk

Looking at Library Print Book Collections … Systematically

32 million print books, representing26 million distinct works

Half of print books published after1977; more than 80% still “in copyright”

Rareness is common! Only a third of print books have more than five holdings; half have two or less

OCLC/Ithaka collaboration: Use WorldCat to characterize the “system-wide” print book collection – i.e., aggregate print book holdings in WorldCat

More information: http://www.oclc.org/research/presentations/lavoie/cni2005.ppt

Only about 120,000 works had bothprint book and e-book manifestations

~60 percent of total G5 books held by only one of the Google 5

Less than 5 percent held by all of the Google 5

~20 percent of total G5 print books out of copyright
