6. Standing alone...
Decoupled (discovery, ERM)
Siloed (limited systems and data
interoperability)
Back office (a management tool)
Proprietary (no viable alternatives)
10. The current age of
Integration...
A certain vibrancy!
Sharing (data, systems, services...)
Digital first (ejournals, ebooks, open)
Of the web (integrated discovery etc)
11. Jisc Library Systems
Programme...
How can library systems ensure they are able
to serve the needs of next-generation library
services and users, as well as being both
effective and efficient in meeting reduced
budgets and rising user expectations?

12. LMS Change...
The LMS Change project will develop and disseminate visions for the future of
library systems and a series of tools and guidance to support the community in
adopting to a new systems future.
University of Westminster, Sero Consulting,
Ken Chad and Owen Stephens
Plus 10 institutional steering group members
Phase 1 – Synthesis
Phase 2 – Landscape
Phase 3 – Evaluation and Scoping

13. Pathfinders...
These projects are about building (disruptive) communities, and ensuring the work
of the synthesis project is embedded in practical examples and is implementable.

Repository Content:
Anthologizr (University of London)
Shared Collection Management
KCL and Senate House Libraries
eBook procurement and Patron Driven Acquisition
Royal Holloway, Jisc Collections, NHM and M25
14. Jisc Library Systems
Programme...
• Community collaboration
• Proprietary and open (community)
• Eternal integration
(repository, RDM, ebooks)
• Procurement
Maybe also mention the LMS programme that was a direct result of the landscape report.
Synthesis: A synthesis of previous reports, case studies and project outcomes from the library systems environment in the UK and overseas. It will evaluate the potential to build on existing communities, products and services, generating an outline of the current state of the library systems landscape.Phase 2 - Landscape: Involves engagement and liaison with prioritised ‘pathfinder’ projects and with other relevant initiatives and entities within the wider environment. Enabling a baseline of the programme and evaluate the potential of projects to contribute to an understanding of future library systems infrastructure.Phase 3 - Evaluation and scoping: Analysis of the emerging options in order to scope the proposed service(s) and infrastructure.
A constant dance – nothing is fixed – but changes as the system and the user interact with each other. Neither comes away unchanged!
I was originally going to call the third and future age one of ecosystems... But, then I thought about it, and I’m not sure that this will be the case...Both appealing to libraries, users and vendors: user experience, ease, savings etc.
