5/26 筆記與心得

圖書館員所面臨的10個挑戰：

1.Setting up access to content so that it’s easier to find and use 設置訪問內容，以便更容易查找和使用
– Access routes and all the various vendor platforms are a really complex landscape for both readers and the librarians who need to make sense of it all.

2.Understanding how that content is used in their institution, and by whom 了解內容是如何應用，以及由誰來使用
– Librarians want to understand usage beyond what the current COUNTER reports deliver, eg. they want to know which articles are being read, in what disciplines, by which type of patron, in which faculty.

3.Understanding their institution’s usage vs peer institutions 了解機構的使用
– Is the usage their content is getting ‘good’ or ‘bad’ versus other institutions with a similar profile?  What should be done to make it better?

4.Demonstrating how the content they’ve bought has impacted on the outcomes of the institution 演示已購買的內容如何影響該機構的成果
– How can the library prove that it helped to produce a better student, bring in grant funding, make a discovery, secure a patent?  Demonstrating the value proposition to those that hold the purse strings is really critical.

5.How they can best present the nuances of licensing models to their patrons and upper management 他們如何能最好的禮物許可模式的細微差別，他們的顧客和高層管理人員
– Digital licensing models are complex and explaining these can be difficult to those who are not steeped in them. 

6.Embedding their services fully in the researcher and student workflow 在研究人員和學生的工作流程完全嵌入他們的服務
– To do this successfully they also need to intimately understand the needs and behavior of their users and the point of interactions with the library service.  How do you deliver relevant information at the point of need with a service which makes a real difference to people’s daily lives?

7.Supporting author/researcher education, especially early career researchers 支持作者/研究員的教育，特別是早期的職業生涯研究
– Librarians are increasingly acting as knowledge consultants within their organizations and are called upon to deliver training to early year researchers which goes beyond the normal research skills training.  This might include training on understanding copyright, how to write a grant proposal, how to get OA funds and include them in grant applications, how to get published in the best journals, etc.

8.Developing their role with research data management tools 他們發展與研究的數據管理工具的作用
– Is the library best placed within the institution to support the data curation and research management behaviors of the departments and the labs they support?  If not libraries, then who?

9.Evolving their roles and capabilities as librarians 不斷發展作為一個館員的角色和能力
– Supporting the mixed economy of subscriptions plus Open Access and delivering on the expanding knowledge consultancy needs of their organizations requires a reconfiguring of librarian roles in a time of tighter resource.

10.How should they reconfigure library policies to accommodate the mixed economy and the new realities 重新調整政策以適應混合經濟與新現實
– If they buy ebooks should they also buy print?  How much should be apportioned to demand driven acquisition?  Should they be buying textbooks at all?  Is it the library’s role to administer OA fees?  All these new issues are still being worked out and there is plenty of experimentation still going on.
