What gets in the way n Distance ¨ 4 hrs. separation ¨ Limits face-to-face meetings ¨ Limits collaboration on physical n materials? Structural differences ¨ Different unit definitions, job responsibilities ¨ Different administrative structures ¨ Who do I work with?

What gets in the way n Cultural differences ¨ Union/non-union ¨ Consultative/Directive ¨ Processing efficiency vs n Time n Technical difficulties selector autonomy Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Shared work, separate systems Both using Voyager, but … n Separate systems for ERM, link resolver, federated search, discovery. n What level of collaboration needed to justify system migration? n Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

If not now, when? n Long term (5 year) vision n Near term actions n Reconciling differences

2 CUL technical services in 2015 n Systems Environment ¨ Single, shared system ¨ Merging print and e-resource management ¨ Drawing on centrally maintained knowledge base ¨ Potential examples: n n n Kuali OLE (Open Library Environment) OCLC Webscale Management System Ex Libris Alma

2 CUL technical Services in 2015 (as seen in 2010) n Shape of Collections ¨ Domestic books 50% e-only ¨ Foreign titles still 70%-90% print ¨ Growth of open web publication for non-profit ¨ Near demise of “print + electronic” n Methods of Purchase ¨ Most e-books in packages, based on profiles ¨ Remainder largely patron-driven ¨ Extension of approval (buying) plans

Metadata Environment in 2015 n n n n Outsourced knowledge base maintenance E-book discovery based on full-text search Need for enriched metadata for print Broad adoption of linked data More metadata from foreign sources Mixed cataloging practices New models for original cataloging

Implications and Getting There n Collaborative Print Resource Management ¨ Joint management of batch processes ¨ Collaboration on tool development ¨ Convergence of suppliers, data sources ¨ Reconciliation of differences in methods ¨ Joint documentation, training ¨ Separate shipment, physical handling?

Getting started n Tool Development ¨ ¨ ¨ n Cross-Institutional Cataloging ¨ ¨ n Pre-order online form (POOF) Co-development of specifications Integration with local workflow Turkish, Korean pilots Reconciling workflow details Setting up inter-system access Leveraging offsite storage Support for Shared Collecting ¨ ¨ ¨ Single 2 CUL Slavic bibliographer Common tools, changing vendors Data to monitor remotely

Implications and Getting There n Consolidated E-Resource Management ¨ ¨ Coordinated licensing wherever possible Single (virtual) administrative unit, or Specialization by: function? type of resource? Opportunity for extended services (e. g. , problem resolution) Basic principles: n n Acquire once, for both Joint maintenance of data

Getting closer: new issues n One database? Two? Three? n Access to financial functions n Acting remotely whenever possible Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Business models: attributing costs n Current: memoranda of understanding ¨ Slavic librarian: % of time ¨ Korean cataloging: expected output n Future: base on activity units ¨ estimated volume of activity ¨ collections expenditures ¨ Hosted by ALCTS The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services

Beyond 2 CUL Different issues, different solutions n Outsource: when benefits accrue to many ¨ E. g. , n Influence: when success depends on others ¨ E. g. , n E-journal preservation study Incubate: when new models must be tested, proved ¨ E. g. , n Chinese purchase plan Web archiving Extend: when 2 CUL can offer unique value to others
