- Agile management is a term associated with business world = need to move easily and quickly in response to changing economic circumstances. Birknshaw(2012) came up with 5 ways businesses can become more agile and meet challenges:Monitor trends and innovationsEncourage dissent – leaders encourage debate and be prepared to have views challengedExperiment – try new activities even if it means redirecting resources from current actvs.Simplify and flatten – push decision making to the front line to enable responsiveness as opportunities arise, use outsourcing to reduce or increase capacity as neededAct quickly – sometimes smarter to wait in the first instance, mke preps and save resources so that you can act quicklyAll 5 can be applied to unilibraries in face of:reduced funding, and other pressures such as increased prices for resources; rapid change of scholarly information environmentExamples so far: electronic-preferred policy for journals adopted by many unilibs;developmof repositories, and what became the ADT program wasveryinnovative at the time; the ARROW Project which lead to new roles in supporting research, bibliometrics and RDMUNSWL had structural change in 2005 – did away with discipline-based libs which were duplicating services, which released resources for innovation and focus on digital library. They no longer have technical services.95% of budget used for online resourcesNo service desks (see separate paper), more self-help, self checkoutStopped face to face IL classes, more online (50,000 students)Released resources for better research support – bibliometrics and research impact measurement; more liaison with academic staffIn this wayUNSWL has used Birkenshaw’s ways of agile mgt.
- OA from Perspective of Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) – study to explore new scholarly communication environment which libs facing and plans for the future from collection development of view Methodology – phone interviews with 29 members libs (13 provinces) with university librarians, senior management or scholarly communication staffAll had IRs but few had OA policies, some made OA funds available, usually from collection development budget or research grantOA does not form part of job descriptions of librarians but some sawtheneed for this – one said, “everyone needs to buy into this, if small group won’t go anywhere”. And librarians will feel it’s just another thing that they had to do on top of everything elseLibrary directors use their position on campus committees to spread the messagePromotion is key to usage and discovery of OA resources but not being done evenly: libnrarians promote OA when liaising with faculty, events are organised during OA week but are not well-attended; websites and libguidesare commonCARL members belong to regional consortia for cooperative collection development, and support OA ventures – Erudit OA access to French language journals; negotiated access to package of OA bks published by Canadian research pressesDigitisation of heritage materialInstitution and funder mandates can encourage deposit but not many in Canada – 18Canadian Institutes of Health has mandate but compliance is an issue
