The document discusses the evolution of library workflows from user-centric service models to building services around user needs in a digital environment. It highlights the importance of data aggregation, user participation, and the adaptation of library systems to manage resources effectively in a networked world. Additionally, it emphasizes the collaborative potential of libraries to enhance resource sharing and optimize data management while addressing challenges in legacy systems and user engagement.

- 33. Network level – website - workflow Difficult to ‘mobilize’ library resource into workflows A thin layer around complex legacy systems Stuck in the middle Concentration Diffusion Low gravitational pull? Little social dynamic Limited usage data
- 34. ‘ Monolithic fragmentation’ Move to ‘concentrate’ at local level Single search environments Move to ‘diffuse’ at local level RSS, APIs , …. But … Have to manage presence at the local, group and global level

Historic central actors British Library Document Supply Centre JISC ‘ group’ structures less well developed in UK than elsewhere.
- 39. Network level services are heavily used, and in many cases are the first port of call for library users Increasing opportunities to build shared capacity, remove unhelpful redundancy, and aggregate data (cf government shared services agenda). Release time and resource to support specific learning and teaching needs of institution. Disclose resources into group and network level services.

- 41. Group Data? Knowledge base Aggregate usage data Resolver data Download data Database usage data Circulation … Shared catalog (cf OhioLink) Syndicate to global (e.g. Google Scholar and union catalogues) Switch to local for fulfilment Applications? Repository Search Institutional search (Primo, WC Local, etc) Metasearch Catalogue ILS???? Network effects: e.g. circulation and recommendation Shared selection CIRC <> resource sharing
- 42. Group The collective collection? Competition for space and ongoing cost a concern Legacy print collections (cf UK RR) Storage Preservation Access Physical delivery architecture The collective collection? Managing a licensed collection Ebooks Journals Preservation Access models
- 43. Where data aggregation is beneficial More effective exposure in a web scale site ( metadata ) To attract users and social engagement Avoid redundant data management ( suppliers details, supplier suggestions ) Collective knowledge - tasks less complicated or more accurate ( serial prediction ) New knowledge via deduction or mining ( holdings count indicating rareness and popularity, supplier performance , enriched name metadata) Most effective management of links and imported enriched data Comparison of collections; facilitating the management of the collective collection
- 44. Global Discovery Registry (of institutions, services, collections) Electronic delivery architecture
