Academic Library Futures in a Diversified University System

Academic Library Futures in a Diversified University System | Digital Transformation in Academic Libraries | Scoop.it
In this chapter included in the book Higher Education in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Dempsey and Malpas consider the future of the academic library in the context of a diversifying higher education system. The academic library is not fixed. It is changing as it adapts to the changing research and learning behaviors of its home institution, which are the principal drivers of the library service.

Dempsey and Malpas explore ways in which libraries are responding to the transition from a collections-based model to a more diffuse services-based model. This is in parallel with the evolving influence of the network on student, teacher and researcher practices and with the shift from print to digital. They describe diversification of the higher education system, around poles of research, liberal education and career preparation. Academic libraries similarly will diverge, with different service bundles depending on the type of educational institution they serve.

This means that the model of excellence for libraries also will need to be plural, based on strategic fit to the needs of the institution they serve and not on collection size or gate count.

Students in my faculty of environmental studies are often presented with romantic ideas of interconnectedness, interdisciplinary approaches to their work and working within a worldview that counters traditional analytical and reductionist science. Unfortunately, instead of rigorously looking at what is wrong with traditional scientific approaches in their work, fixing i

Sharing Thoughts Requires Thinking

Sharing Thoughts Requires Thinking | Digital Transformation in Academic Libraries | Scoop.it

"Quite often we see people talking to each other like Dilbert and his boss in this cartoon. It might be a consultant telling why a new philosophy is good, or it might be the boss explaining to the employees why this new thing must now be implemented.

     Paragraphs of potential meaning are boiled down to phrases of hollow words about nothing – is it then so strange that the implementation fails? What was its purpose in the first place? How could anyone identify a success if it happened?

      I see the Soft Systems Methodology as exactly a means to ensuring this accommodation – by exchanging thoughts in a problem analysis context the participants will not only outline possible solutions, they will also get to understand the needs and considerations of their peers."
