The Research Library of the Future: Less Selection, More Curation

摘要: Author(s): Borgman, Christine L. | Abstract: Only a decade ago, this definition of research library seemed adequate (Borgman, 2000, p.38): Librarians tend to take broad view the concept library. In general terms, they see libraries as organizations that select, collect, organize, conserve, preserve, and provide access information on behalf community users. Revisiting today, seem both broader narrower in scope. The scope is are doing far less selecting collecting journals move from purchase lease models. Research rapidly approaching “e-only tipping point” (Johnson Luther, 2007) for journals, some predict e-only point books not too away (Connaway Wicht, 2007; Sandler, Armstrong Nardini, 2007). Libraries also fewer organizing tasks their core collections, digital catalog records accompany books, more printed arrive “shelf-ready” with pasted-on spine labels metadata loaded into local catalogs.
