No Brief Candle: Reconceiving Research Libraries for the 21st Century
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:No Brief Candle: Reconceiving Research Libraries for the 21st Century (ID: CSD5491)
Source:Council on Library & Information Resources
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (08/13/2008)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

In February 2008, CLIR convened 25 leading librarians, publishers, faculty members, and information technology specialists to consider this question. Participants discussed the challenges and opportunities that libraries are likely to face in the next five to ten years, and how changes in scholarly communication will affect the future library. Essays by eight of the participants—Paul Courant, Andrew Dillon, Rick Luce, Stephen Nichols, Daphnée Rentfrow, Abby Smith, Kate Wittenberg, and Lee Zia—were circulated to participants in advance and provided background for the conversation. This report contains these background essays as well as a summary of the meeting.

The Nonsubscription Side of Periodicals: Changes in Library Operations and Costs between Print and Electronic Formats

Title:The Nonsubscription Side of Periodicals: Changes in Library Operations and Costs between Print and Electronic Formats (ID: CSD4036)
Author(s):Roger C. Schonfeld (Ithaka), Donald King (University of Pittsburgh), Ann Okerson (Yale University), and Eileen G. Fenton (Portico)

Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004)

Abstract:Many academic and research libraries are in the midst of what may ultimately be a major transition for various parts of their collections—a shift from print to electronic format. Libraries that had long subscribed only to print versions of journals are, in increasing numbers, licensing electronic versions to replace the print. What effects will this transition have on library operations and on nonsubscription expenditures? To answer this question, the authors collected new data on staff activities and costs from 11 U.S. academic libraries. They then performed a life-cycle analysis to study the longer-term cost implications of the transition.
