The Future Of The Academic Library And The Academic Librarian. A Delphi Study Reloaded, Blazej Feret, Marzena Marcinek

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

At the 20th IATUL Conference held in 1999 in Chania, Greece, the authors presented a paper The Future of the Academic Library and the Academic Librarian. A DELPHI Study 3. The aim of that study was to identify trends and present a probable scenario for the year 2005. After six years that have passed since the Conference in Chania, we live in a different world. Different not only because of terrorism and the latest natural disasters, but also because of changes in technology (e.g. the boom of mobile communication, transition from CD/DVD to online services, ease of digitization, etc.), internationalization …

The Age Bomb And The Age Of Globalisation, Hans Selberg

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

As the library world we have known is changing rapidly around us, we are all getting older. At the NTNU Library 69 people out of a staff of about 145 are aged 55 or more. During this year alone 22 staff members will become eligible for retirement, if they should so choose. The coming ten years will show a massive changing of the guard in our library. This means a severe loss of competent staff members. On the other hand: Even though the Library Board has ordered staff reductions during the past few years, we shall now be able to …

Innovative Approaches By Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal Library, Richard Dumont, Marie-Helene Dupuis, Luc Focault, Marc Hiller, Madeline Proulx

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Librarians are better able to respond to the needs of their end users while supporting the goals of their institution. This is illustrated through five recent initiatives undertaken by the Library of Ecole Polytechnique in direct support of institutional research activities: 􀂃 Master’s and Ph. D. students develop information skills through the preparation of a portfolio on their research topic. This assignment forms part of an information literacy laboratory within a research methodology course. The course is mandatory for Ph. D. students and assignment grading is done by librarians; 􀂃 Canada Research Chairs benefit from dedicated information services in return …

Developing A Global Information Learning Policy At Catholic University Of Louvain, Belgium, Fabienne Moreau, Frederic Brodkom

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Louvain-la-Neuve is located in Belgium, 25 km South-East from Brussels. The university comprises a large international community: 21000 students and a staff of 3000 academics and scientists and more than 2000 collaborators. There are more than 200 research units.

The Catholic University of Louvain was founded in 1425 in Louvain (Leuven) in the Flemish part of Belgium. But in 1968, due to political and linguistic reasons, the university was divided into 2 separated universities: a Flemish one which remained in Leuven and a French one, which moved to the French speaking part of Belgium. A new town was then created …

A Researcher's Research Agenda For Scholarly Communication In Canada, William F. Birdsall, Kathleen Shearer

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Despite millions of dollars being spent on research each year in Canada, little attention is paid to the dissemination of the results of research. There is a disconnect between Canadian public policies in this area; although a high priority is assigned to the generation of research, there is a lack of policies addressing its dissemination. Meanwhile, the environment in which research knowledge is being disseminated is undergoing a profound transformation because of several important drivers. In particular, these drivers include new technology, changing research patterns, new users, economics, and commercialization. The major objective of this study was to examine the …

Digital Repositories: All Hype And No Substance, Marinus Swanepoel

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The development of digital repositories has been a recent one, starting in late 2000 when the UK's University of Southampton released a software package called E-Prints. Since that time, the establishment of digital repositories has gained momentum. Factors such as the falling costs for online storage, the increase of broadband and gigabit networking technologies, as well as the development of metadata standards to describe repository content, all contributed to their current popularity. Questions to be asked are: to what extent is digital repositories, as a method for communicating scientific and scholarly information, accepted or is it just hype?; how mature …

Repositories: What's The Target? An Arrow Perspective, Derek Whitehead

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The key observation about institutional research repositories is that they are under-used. This paper looks at why take-up has been slow, and what might encourage researchers to use these facilities.

This paper surveys the evolution of practice and rationale for the institutional research repository, looks at existing use studies and opinion surveys of users, and examines ways in which university libraries, the main proponents, have changed their approaches in response to their experience. The experience of Swinburne University of Technology, a partner in the Australian ARROW project, is drawn upon.

Information Retrieval On The Grid? Results And Suggestions From Project Grace, Werner Stephan

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Internet computing and Grid‑technologies promise to change the way we tackle complex problems. They will enable large-scale aggregation and sharing of computational, data and other resources across institutional and geographical boundaries.

Internet computing is just a special case of something much more powerful: the ability for communities to share resources as they tackle common goals. Business today is increasingly international and multidisciplinary. It is not unusual for corporations to span states, countries and continents. It is also not unusual for corporations to bundle together a variety of industries and to collect information and generate expertise in various areas of business, …
