  1. You Heard It Here First… Code4Lib 2010 Roy Tennant OCLC Research

  2. OCLC Innovation Lab • Three people: Mike Teets, Tip House, Rob Koopman (Europe) • Will leverage staff from throughout the organization • Lodged in Research, but aimed at bridging the gulf between research and production • Just getting underway now…

  3. Why an Innovation Lab? • Generate new OCLC services, test existing services in new ways, or explore new ways to accomplish existing services • Infuse innovation culture into all areas of OCLC • Provide impedance matching between fast moving, new ideas and slower moving production processes (John Patrick, NetAttitude)

  4. Why Should You Care? • If we’re successful, your membership cooperative will become more agile and responsive to your needs • There will be new opportunities to work with OCLC data and services to assist in your own innovative projects • There will be new opportunities to work with OCLC innovation resources: Research, Developer Network, OCLC Web Services, Enterprise Architecture Office

  5. Assets We Can Bring to Bear • Massive computing resources (present 33-node computing cluster, soon to be replaced) • Substantial research capacity • Decades of experience in software development • Relationships with organizations around the globe

  6. What You Can Offer • Good ideas • An awareness that we cannot take on every good idea (standard disclaimer here) • A willingness to take risks and try things out • Your own development resources for shared projects

  7. Let’s Talk! • Who to talk to for what: • OCLC Web Services, Developer Network: Karen Coombs • New service idea or need, collaboration partners: Mike Teets, teetsm@oclc.org [or me, here, informally]
