Abstract

The biggest organisational change in La Trobe University’s history provided an opportunity for the University Library not only to review its operating model and staffing structure, but also to identify the roles required now and into the future. As part of the review, the Library assessed the capabilities and skills of its staff, created opportunities for strengthening these, and identified new capabilities and skills to meet emerging priorities in the Library and the University. This paper outlines key aspects of these processes that have resulted in the development of a new workplace culture, which explicitly aligns capability, services and partnerships with the University’s strategic objectives.

Abstract

Libraries are in the midst of a transformational change that is driven by complex shifts in their operating environment. Libraries are responding to these shifts in creative and novel ways in order to stay relevant and financially viable. Today’s library leaders must be prepared not only to transform their libraries, but also to transform themselves. Readers are invited to imagine their library in 2020, and to set out on the journey to transform their career in preparation for this future.

Abstract

University libraries face an increasingly diverse digital world in which tablet and mobile devices are the preferred access platforms for research, teaching and learning. The University of Wollongong Library has responded by digitising its unique archival collections, embedding digitisation processes, developing a digitisation program and providing a Digital Collections portal to material held within its repositories. The Library has also embarked on digitisation of the nationally significant WIN4 television news collection 1964-84. Comprising over 1,000 reels of 16mm black and white film and associated scripts, the project entails significant technological, copyright and logistical hurdles in providing streamed access to content.

Abstract

This paper presents the story of a small, specialist library, which transformed its service delivery model through a reframing of the service from traditional library to integrated information service. The paper details some of the processes and discoveries from such an undertaking, and shares its approach for regenerating the library function to ensure and grow its relevance into the future.
