Strategic Change and Alignment: ScholarWorks at Boise State University

Marilyn K. Moody — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 21:14:24 PDT

Libraries must engage in strategic change and realign themselves much more closely with the university mission, vision, and strategic priorities. These new alignments are essential in this environment of constant change, and are particularly crucial regarding faculty and support of their teaching and research. This presentation gives examples of the Boise State University ScholarWorks institutional repository+ services and how those services support the mission, vision, and strategic priorities of the university.

Libraries and Strategic Change: The Role of Institutional Repository+ Services

Marilyn K. Moody — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:39:42 PST

In the "new normal" environment for higher education, libraries must realign themselves much more closely with the university mission, vision, and strategic priorities. In this environment of constant change, libraries must take on new roles and emphasize different priorities. Institutional repository services are essential to this process. This presentation gives examples of the Boise State University ScholarWorks institutional repository+ services and how those services support the mission, vision, and strategic priorities of the university.

Key points include: • Libraries must aggressively realign resources to align with their university’s mission, vision, and strategic goals and priorities. • Universities are changing directions and emphasis and libraries must be part of those changes. • The library must be seen as an integral player in fulfilling the university mission and vision. • Investment in institutional repository+ services is one of the most strategic investments a library can make in this change environment. •Libraries must make reallocations from lower priorities to fund institutional repository services and support scholarly communication initiatives. •There is a short window of time for libraries to make themselves indispensable to their institutions in this change environment.

“Reference Librarians and Technical Services Librarians: Who’s Accountable?”

Marilyn K. Moody — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:45:18 PDT

The relationship between reference librarians and technical services librarians has often been strained. In our changing technological and organizational environment, it is imperative that reference librarians and technical services librarians share responsibility for improving this relationship. One way for this to take place is for individuals to become more "accountable" to their colleagues. This article provides accountability guidelines for both reference and technical services librarians which, if followed, can result in increased communication and a better understanding of the roles, concerns, and needs of both reference and technical services librarians.

Beyond the University: The IR and Research Distribution Strategies

Marilyn K. Moody — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:58:48 PDT

Universities are realizing the importance of developing research distribution strategies that allow their research and scholarship to be broadly disseminated. Using the research distribution strategies model as a framework provides the following strengths:

•Emphasizes the campus mission, vision, priorities, and strategic plan.

•Provides a far-reaching framework that supports a broad range of individual strategies.

•Shifts the focus of efforts to institutional and faculty priorities of research and scholarship.

•Emphasizes direct benefits to faculty and students.

•Fits the changing publishing and scholarly communication environment.

This presentation describes the role of the institutional repository in carrying out research distribution strategies. It describes ways that Boise State University is using its institutional repository, ScholarWorks, to support research dissemination and the university’s mission, vision, and strategic plan.

Beyond the Institutional Repository: Campus Research Distribution Strategies

Marilyn K. Moody — Thu, 07 May 2009 08:15:38 PDT

The idea that universities and libraries ought to be more involved in developing a university's research distribution policy and developing strategies for the distribution of research and scholarship is one that is sparking a lot of interest among provosts and other university administrators. The February 2009 report by the AAU, ARL, CNI, and NASULGC, ”The University’s Role in the Dissemination of Research and Scholarship--A Call to Action” has been a particularly significant influence.

Institutional repositories provide an important infrastructure for developing research distribution strategies, but many other aspects such as scholarly communication issues, copyright issues, campus publishing policies and strategies, faculty copyright and intellectual property education and issues, electronic theses and dissertations, and open access publishing must also be part of the discussion.

This presentation develops a framework for thinking about research distribution policies and strategies and uses Boise State University as a case study. It also provides librarians with strategies for selling the institutional repository concept and working with administrators and others on campus. Major topics include:
An overview of the research distribution strategies model.
Research distribution strategies key elements and issues.
Framing the conversation for the campus.
Boise State University case study examples.

This presentation was presented on May 6, 2009 as part of the ALA/ALCTS Institutional Repository Webinar series.
