Excellence and Engagement:
Monash University Library 2016 Annual Plan
1.
Introduction
The focus of this 2016 Annual Plan, Excellence and Engagement, builds on the 2015 Annual Plan, Transforming Scholarship, which
articulates the multiple ways that Monash University Library contributes to the University’s achievement of its goal to be one of the best
research and learning and teaching universities in the world, with a global perspective and a commitment to innovation.
In order to be effective in this ambitious environment, and to capitalise on the opportunities provided by radical changes to technology,
pedagogy and research practice, the Library has re-created itself in a number of profound ways. It has transformed, and continues to
transform, all aspects of its endeavour. It is outward-looking and working in partnership with faculties to enhance students’ research skill
development, encompassing both information literacy and learning skills. It has for many years led the University’s understanding of and
approach to research data management. It has embraced e-learning in a myriad of ways and provides professional advice about
intellectual property and scholarly communication. It has re-envisioned the physical libraries so that they are user-focussed, responsive
and effective research and learning environments. It interrogates work practices in order to make them efficient and effective, and it
ensures that staff have the opportunity to build their ability to thrive in this transformed environment.
Excellence and Engagement recognises that the Library will make a greater contribution to the University if academics, students and
professional staff understand the Library’s full offer and engage with it. It highlights the centrality of the planning, delivery and evaluation
cycle, and recognises that partnerships and communication are the keys to improving engagement. It also anticipates the stronger base
for engagement that the refurbished libraries will afford from 2017, and commits to strategic planning to capitalise on this.
This Plan links to the University’s plans, especially the Academic and International Plans, and it underpins all individual Library staff
work plans. It outlines both the Library’s ongoing roles and its strategic priorities for 2016. Like the University itself it is ambitious and
innovative.
