Dialog- Marshall Breeding vs. Hao-Ren (Claven) Ke

3. Strategic Cooperation

4. Cooperation for Automation

Large-scale shared implementations
 Regional,
Province, National
 Inter-institutional cooperation
 Main topic of speech tomorrow at the National
Taiwan Normal University

5. Library Services Platforms
New genre of library automation

6. Library Services Platform


Library-specific software. Designed to help libraries
automate their internal operations, manage
collections, fulfillment requests, and deliver services
Services




Service oriented architecture
Exposes Web services and other API’s
Facilitates the services libraries offer to their users
Platform



General infrastructure for library automation
Consistent with the concept of Platform as a Service
Library programmers address the APIs of the platform to
extend functionality, create connections with other
systems, dynamically interact with data

7. Library Services Platform
Characteristics

Highly Shared data models



Delivered through software as a service



Multi-tenant
Unified workflows across formats and media
Flexible metadata management




Knowledgebase architecture
Some may take hybrid approach to accommodate local
data stores
MARC – Dublin Core – VRA – MODS – ONIX
Bibframe
New structures not yet invented
Open APIs for extensibility and interoperability

16. Discovery services as Website
Replacement



Portal environment that includes customized
content management service that can fulfill
typical offerings on library Web sites
Full integration between Web site and
resource discovery (ideally)
Examples:
 Axiell
Arena
 Infor Iguana
 BiblioCommons

17. E-Book Integration

18. Critical concern for public
libraries




Most libraries offer e-book lending programs
Strong demand: increasing use statistics
Print lending remains vigorous
Academic libraries will benefit at a later phase
by e-book lending models developed in the
public library sector

19. Commercial library e-book lending
services




OverDrive
3M Cloud Library
Baker & Taylor: Axis 360
“Douglas County Model”
 Locally
curated e-book collections and lending
platform

20. E-book Lending Models



Phase I: Link out to e-book lending service
Phase II: Load MARC records in local catalog,
then link out on individual titles
Phase III: Discovery and lending operations
performed fully within the library’s catalog or
discovery environment

21. Full e-book lending


Discovery of print and e-book titles and copies
simultaneously
E-book transactions represented within
patron’s library account
 List
of charged items, due dates
 Service options: renew, return, etc.

Ability to check-out and download e-books into
e-reader

22. The e-book integration
ecosystem




E-book lending services must expose APIs
Online catalog or discovery services must
consume APIs and adjust interface design and
business logic to accommodate discovery and
lending operations
Challenge: each e-book service provider’s
APIs are different
Response: Work toward consistent or standard
suite of APIs

23. Models of Development and
Innovation

24. Proprietary Licensed Software


Most commercial products
Significantly larger development teams

25. Open Source





Community-based software development
No licensing costs
Services offered for: hosting, implementation,
data conversion, ongoing support
Self-service: all costs absorbed within
institution
Library examples:
 Koha
 Evergreen
 Kuali
OLE

26. Consumer Technologies

27. Consumer Tech Trends

Device adoption: Tablets, Smartphones, PCs
 Need

to balance how to deliver library services
3D printing
 Experimental
implementations in library maker
spaces

Wearable tech
 Google
Glass? Interesting, but privacy concerns

28. Industry Trends

29. Mergers and Acquisitions

30. Business Trends



Consolidation: Large international companies
gaining increasing reach into libraries across
many international regions
Local companies vulnerable: May not have the
development capacity to develop new
generations of products
Content and Technology increasingly
interwoven

31. Questions and discussion
