• From printed
• To electronic
• To global access
”There has been a sharp fall over the past five years in the number of researchers who visit their institution’s library regularly.”
Ciber Seminario 19-21 november m.j. crowley e g. manganozzi
Murray has put this succinctly:
the business and service model [of libraries] is evolving
from acquiring, cataloguing and circulating physical collections
to synthesising, specialising and mobilising Web-based services.

Indications are that libraries’ websites or portals are well thought of by researchers
across the board
• Must be a Department project
• Bottom up work needs to be sustained and supported
• Otherwise project dies and may need forcing from the top
• Must be seen to make a differece

Need to communicate with all the stakeholders
• Create a community and be inclusive
• Who are they ?
- Faculty, high priority stakeholder
- Students – graudates, undergraduates
- Non academic staff, technical and admin
- Other interested parties

Establish their requirements
• All with different needs to be addressed• They shape the product• Balance between what is common and what is
different• Structured and non ad hoc (non who shouts
loudest)• Go out to them – surveys, workshop, RSS,
Blog….. and more. Most researchers lack any clear understanding of what the library is doing on their behalf.
