AUDIENCE ASSIGNMENT 1
Write 3 SEPARATE WORDS on the catalog card that you think describe a “Library of the Future”
AUDIENCE ASSIGNMENT 2
Write 1 WORD on the scrap paper:
• What did you do last time you visited the library?
S. R. RANGANATHAN … THEN (1931)
1. Books are for use.2. Every reader his [or her] book.3. Every book its reader.4. Save the time of the reader.5. The library is a growing

USER BEHAVIOR WILL DRIVE LIBRARY SERVICES4. Save the time of the reader.

BELOIT COLLEGE MINDSET: THE CLASS OF 2016 5
They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to a new generation of “electronic narcotics.”
Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf.
Before they purchase an assigned textbook, they will investigate whether it is available for rent or purchase as an e-book.
Despite being preferred urban gathering places, two-thirds of the independent bookstores in the United States have closed for good during their lifetimes.
Outdated icons with images of floppy discs for “save,” a telephone for “phone,” and a snail mail envelope for “mail” have oddly decorated their tablets and smart phone screens.
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TRENDS WILL DRIVE USER EXPECTATIONS 6
Students are being assessed on collaboration and team dynamics (not just outcomes). Wikis, Skype, Google Docs, and online tools that preserve the process and the multiple perspectives will become more prevalent.
1.Cloud based technologies Where we store our work doesn’t matter. Access to our work, any time, anywhere DOES matter.
2.Online Learning will required new digital skills
Fewer face-to-face classes / more hybrid learning Ability to use digital media and navigate networked environments Ability to collaborate and communicate in a variety of online systems
Library Classification Systems (complicated) vs.Free Web Keyword searching (easy)
“The trend for accessing information is moving toward an expectation of being able to use one start point for all research.”
Timpson, H., & Sansom, G. (2011). A Student Perspective on e-Resource Discovery: Has the Google Factor Changed Publisher Platform Searching Forever?. Serials Librarian, 61(2), 253-266. doi:10.1080/0361526X.2011.592115
“ 89 percent of college student information searches begin with a search engine”
OCLC. (2006). College Students’ Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources. Dublin, Ohio: OCLC.
“The a-literate expect:
• instant results
• convenience (which is seen as superior to quality)
• images are at least as important as text
• if it’s not on the web, it doesn’t exist
• cut and paste is a legitimate alternative to original thought
• just enough material for the task in hand, not everything”
Law, D. (2011). “As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it”: (Antoine de Saint Exupéry). IFLA Journal, 37(4), 269-275. doi:10.1177/0340035211430308
SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
The clash: students’ “good enough” vs. faculty requirements
Background issues:
• Students don’t know what they don’t know (and who is responsible for teaching that?)
• Few people think about what is NOT in Google
• The package no longer defines the information contained in it, which means…
• Evaluation of quality is hard to do
• Searching almost anything else isn’t as easy and familiar as Google
USING THE FREE WEB
Students might:
• Find a reasonable source and/or answer• satisfice with inadequate materials•waste gobs of time trying for find something that isn’t there•Decide it doesn’t exist and give up•Ultimately move to non-free web resources
THE GOOD GOOGLE: PLAYS WELL WITH LIBRARIES
Google Scholar Links to library databases from on-campus (IP based) Beginning select off-campus proxy authentication
Google Books Provides snippits for evaluation Links to libraries (and bookstores) for full access
THE BAD GOOGLE: WANTS …MONEY, POWER, CONTROL (BWAH HAH HAH HAH!!!)The Evolution of Google
Google as business
Advertising
Information Provider (Google Books)
Information Consumer (Personal Data)
Google as a player in the library of the future…
FUTURE OF LIBRARY COLLECTIONS
1. Print collections will continue to decline in value
2. Electronic collections will continue to grow and increase in popularity
3. Remember Newsweek?
4. Academic library spaces are prime real estate: Increased demand for collaborative and other spaces It costs $4.26 per book, per year to store a book on the shelf 11
~50% of print books have never been used 7
3. Every book its reader Circulation is down 26% in academic libraries since 1991 (ACRL) 12
5. Digital repositories are making pre-1922 books readily available (HathiTrust, etc.)
E-BOOKS ARE GAINING POPULARITY SLOWLY
1. E-books can have enhanced features: full text searching, annotations, pages can be bookmarked, text-to-audio, embedded video, links to websites, interactive lessons and changeable plots.
2. E-books for consumers ≠ E-books for libraries
3. Libraries can purchase a Kindle, pay for and download 100 books, but only one patron can borrow the Kindle (with 100 books)
4. Academic e-book readers tend to be web-based
5. Downloading to hand-held readers = short term and technically challenging• Ability to highlight and add notes, is limited and
temporary

HIGHLIGHT AND ADD NOTES
E-BOOKS WILL BECOME MORE LIBRARY FRIENDLY
AND PATRON FRIENDLY
Libraries usually cannot lend e-books to other libraries (Interlibrary Loan)
Some e-book vendors have “loan” periods. If you check out an e-book, no one else can use it until your loan period expires.
Some publishers limit the number of times an e-book can be loaned, at which point the library needs to purchase another copy
Publishers are restricting e-book content for libraries
Technological obstacles need to be resolved, especially for hand held devices
Tower of eBabel = Too many formats
PURCHASE-ON-DEMAND
Who should develop the library collections?
Can we trust patrons to know what they want?
Just-in-case VS Just-in-time
Interlibrary Loan is not “free”
PURCHASE-ON-DEMAND MODELS
Several models being implemented in libraries:1. Records for print books are loaded into the catalog.
Patron requests are sent to Acquisitions Department and materials are ordered RUSH.
2. Interlibrary Loan requests are submitted into ILLiad. Library staff monitor ILL requests, and if purchase is warranted (affordable, available and appropriate) the request is sent to Acquisition department to be ordered RUSH.
3. Records for e-books are loaded into the catalog. Patrons click on the link and have immediate access to browse or borrow or trigger a purchase. Library costs for loans and purchases are unpredictable.
NY 3RS DEMAND DRIVEN EBL E-BOOK PILOT
Consortial pilot project to test collaborative e-book collection building
18 members (16 Academics, 2 Public Library Systems)
18 Publishers
Members contribute funds to common account at WNYLRC to be drawn against as consortium patrons use books
7971 records loaded into catalog (published Oct. 2011- )
Purchased e-books are owned “into perpetuity” (65 so far)
Current costs:
Browsing is free
After 5 minutes browsing – loan Is triggered (24 hrs or 7 days) ($.20-$44 each loan)
Ownership – First Sale Doctrine allows a library to lend books
Copyright Law Fair Use and Exceptions
Allows a library to share or obtain copies of articles from content they or other libraries own
Licensing of contentIncreasingly, libraries now obtain access to content by entering licensed agreements of content vendors
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, COPYRIGHT AND SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION
In 1968 early Internet developers Licklider and Taylor predicted a “global computer network of distributed intellectual resources” that would “help users share, manipulate and locate data”…but what has occurred is a “rising tension between the open architecture of the Internet and legal restrictions for online activities.” 1.
