9. So, is there a future for academic libraries? Personally I
think in the near future we will see the end of the
academic library as we know it.

12. Strategic goals for Stockholm university
library 2014
• The library support its users in finding relevant
information resources
• The library gives quick access to information
resources
2014-04-14
- no matter where the users are
- stop focusing on the library
- demand driven media policy
- focus on delivery
/ Anders Söderbäck, Stockholms universitetsbibliotek

13. Strategy for information retrieval
• Adapt to how users de facto are seeking information
• All relevant resources do not fit in one ”google like
search box”
• Quit building and branding ”our own” services
- EDS is one tool among many
- LIBRIS (the union catalog) is our catalog
• Services that doesn’t add value to Google et al will
be cancelled
2014-04-14 / Anders Söderbäck, Stockholms universitetsbibliotek

14. Delivery, delivery, delivery!
• What we ”have” doesn’t matter, what matters is
how fast we can deliver
• Suggested acquisitions, ILL, stack retrievals –
what’s the difference?
• From link resolver to ”delivery hub”

19. Electronic publishing gives great opportunities for a
faster and broader spread of the works of researchers
and students. […] As a rule, libraries have a more or less
pronounced responsibility to coordinate these efforts in
cooperation with researchers and students.

21. The Final Frontier: the library turning 180 degrees and
switching from consumption to production of
publications. According to some people university
libraries are very suitable and qualified to become
scholarly publishers.

22. Publishing as it currently exists requires a number of
specific skills that have nothing to do with librarian
expertise. […] But of course the publishing process can
and probably will change.

31. Sustaining vs. disruptive innovation
/ Anders Söderbäck, Stockholms universitetsbibliotek2014-04-14

32. Libraries need a next generation platform that is
generic, scalable, multi tenant and able to meet all user
expectations while keeping TCO to a minimum. The new
digital environment is mobile. Therefore we need an
extensible, modular framwork which will leverage the
cloud by outsourcing delivery of enhanced marc records.
We think of this as a unified virtual index with RESTful
API:s, embedded in a federated structure of linked open
data.

33. Hybrid innovation
/ Anders Söderbäck, Stockholms universitetsbibliotek
• Includes both the old and the new technology
• It targets existing customers, rather than
nonconsumers
• It tries to do the job of the preexisting
technology.
• Does not significantly reduce the level of wealth
and/or expertise needed
