The world’s libraries. Connected.
Place of the Library in University
Why do Universities have libraries?
• It was more economical to have a physical collection than to send researchers or students to the information.
• It was useful to locate all the needed information resources for research and learning physically close to the work.
• Local collections were assets and contributed competitively to scholarly output
Consider the town squarein the United States…

The network changes everything
• The network has reconfigured whole industries
• Travel, News, Book Retailing
• The network is now the first option for researchers and learners
• Impact on the university library
• changed the value of physical book collections and library space
• changed the relevance of the library assets and services to the University’s outputs
We do not yet know what it will mean to reconfigure the library within the University

The Context – the current library environment
Information environment is increasingly flat
• academic collections increasingly alike
• discovery is increasingly done outside of library
• information fulfillment comes to the desktop from many sources
Libraries value is challenged
• reduce investment in redundant operations
• redirect resources to a renovated library service portfolio
Library place is less about collections
More about client support and research engagement
