“The library connects us with insights and
knowledge, painfully extracted from nature, of the
greatest minds that ever were, with the best
teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all
of our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to
inspire us to make our own contribution to the
collective knowledge of the human species.” p. 282

The changing patterns of research and learning in
higher education
As part of a university or college, the academic library is
not an end in itself. It supports research, learning and
scholarship and has always had to adapt as research
and learning behaviors change. In the current network
environment, this change is uneven and poses great
challenges for libraries. p. 11

“Possibly the most well-known intersection of
automation and consortia has been the “Big

licensing, with the resultant tremendous increase
in journal literature access for patrons and the
leveraging of the collection’s dollar this model of
of journal purchase has made possible.” p. 400

strategies use IT innovatively to improve

not increase productivity but instead either added

individual faculty members great latitude in course

appropriately in the teaching-learning process.”

“Based on these results, the best “payoffs” in
higher graduation rates from strategically targeted
institutional budgetary enhancements would seem
to come from increasing per student expenditures
for instruction (+1.99 percentage points), followed
closely by library (+1.77) and more distantly by
physical plant (1.07) and nonlibrary academic
(+0.98).

“ Bankers don’t market “distance banking” or
label customers as ‘traditional’ of ‘nontraditional’.
They realize that different customers have
different needs and preferences for obtaining
services. Banks also know that time-shifted
online self-service can reduce costs while
increasing customer satisfaction, which is why
they frequently offer incentives for self-service.”

“Satisfaction
Surveys confirm that information consumers are
pleased with the results of their online
activities…Librarians worry that information found using
search engines does not have the credibility and
authority of information found in libraries, and that
people will not learn basic information seeking skills,
and so leave much valuable material undiscovered.” P. 4

“Satisfaction
Yet most library visitors also bypass the reference desk,
boldly setting off to find answers on their own. The
indisputable fact is that information and content on the
open Web is far easier and more convenient to find and
access than are information and content in physical or
virtual libraries. The information consumer types a term
into a search box, clicks a button and sees results
immediately. The information consumer is satisfied.” p. 4

“Seamlessness
The traditional separation of academic, leisure and work
time is fusing into a seamless world aided by nomadic
computing devices that support multiple activities. This
phenomenon is most marked among young adults.
Their world is a seamless “infosphere” where the
boundaries of work, play and study are gone, a marked
contrast to the compartmentalized lifestyles of their
parents.

“Seamlessness
Contrast this seamless world with the one students
experience at most libraries. Library environments still
cater to an older generation with separate spheres of
information, frequently designating different computers
for access to library content than the ones used for email and writing papers. p. 4

“New standards
There are two main areas of standards development.
Repository and content standards are emerging to
manage digital objects. Of note are OAIS (Open Archival
Information System), preservation metadata, content
packaging, content exchange and metadata that support
operations on objects. Secondly, applications standards
are being developed in the areas of cross-searching,
harvesting, resolution and specialized library
transaction applications such as NCIP and ISO ILL. p. 11

The changing patterns of research and learning in
higher education
The underlying challenges and opportunities involve the
social and institutional changes necessary to effect the
transition from traditional support for scholarship to the
digital, distributed, seamless environments that will be
necessary in the future. Consequently, coordinated
management and disclosure of digital assets of
institutions—learning objects, data sets, e-prints,
theses, dissertations and so on—will be necessary. p. 11

The changing patterns of research and learning in
higher education
Currently, there are no settled patterns or standards. As
well, the outputs of digital scholarship are often in
complex and nonstandard forms. The academic
community will need to develop a better understanding
of ways in which scholarship and learning activities are
created, used, reused and preserved in the digital
environment. p. 11

The changing patterns of research and learning in
higher education
It is clear that a new ecology and a new economy for
scholarly materials are being formed. In the past, the
flow of research and learning outputs traveled through
formal, linear publishing mechanisms. We are seeing the
emergence of a variety of repository frameworks,
metadata aggregation services, and richer content
interconnection and repurposing that are changing how
we think about data and its uses. p. 11

“As we look ahead to the twenty first century, we
need to change our thinking about how to develop
and structure library services. We need to evolve
into agencies that focus not on collections, but on
the needs of users. We need to develop facilities
that recognize, embrace, and encourage the
collaborative social nature of learning. We must
create learning environments that empower student
learning, enabling them to turn information into
knowledge.” p. 11

• It will be a comprehensive collection of resources
important for scholarship, teaching and learning.
•It will be readily accessible to all types of users,
novice as well as the experienced.
• It will be managed and maintained by
professionals who see their role as stewards of the
intellectual and cultural heritages of the world.”
