  4. Defining the hybrid library

  5. HYBRID TRADITIONAL VIRTUAL The Library

  6. The Hybrid Library should be... “...designed to bring a range of technologies from different sources together in the context of a working library, and also to begin to explore integrated systems and services in both the electronic and print environments.” Chris Rusbridge D-Lib July/August 1998

  7. Hybrid Library The hybrid library as process… …integration of the stuff… …seamlessness...

  8. Type: Abstracts and Indexes Catalogues Union catalogues Reference sources Serials Monographs etc., etc. Formats: Databases CD-ROMs Web sites Paper Microform Cassette etc., etc. The Stuff: a random list

  9. Hybrid Library development Not just: • Integration of electronic sources • Software product • “Show us yer hybrid library!” • Hybrid library projects: building models, creating exemplars of and developing specific products for the hybrid library

  10. Hybrids: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/elib/projects/

HyLiFe • Hybrid Library of the Future • Lead sites: CERLIM at Manchester MU & University of Northumbria at Newcastle • Plus other consortium partners • User and evaluation focus - development of 6 hybrid library interfaces for different user groups in different institutions • http://www.unn.ac.uk/~xcu2/hylife

  12. MALIBU • MAnaging the hybrid LIbrary for the Benefit of Users • Lead site: King’s College London, Oxford and Southampton Universities • Plus other consortium members / partners • Humanities focus - developing hybrid library prototypes for the humanities. Organisation and Management focus - development of models • http://www.kcl.ac.uk/humanities/cch/malibu

  13. HeadLine • Hybrid Electronic Access and Delivery in the Library Networked Environment • Lead site: London School of Economics • Plus other consortium partners • Economics and business focus - creating hybrid library environment for wide range of different resources • http://www.headline.ac.uk

  19. API Application Programming Interface “…a set of functions and procedures, and enables a program to gain access to facilities within an application… [This] enables users to customize the application for their own purposes and to integrate the application into a customized development environment.” Valerie Illingworth (ed.) Dictionary of Computing 4th ed. Oxford: OUP, 1996.

  20. Hybrid Library Themes • Interconnectivity and interoperability • Authentication and authorisation

  21. Authentication • Authentication • they are who they say there are • Authorisation • they can use x but not y • Local systems • Other systems • suppliers • national • international

  22. Hybrid Library Themes • Interconnectivity and interoperability • Authentication and authorisation • Personalisation of the Information Landscape

  23. Personalisation • Metadata management • broad view of metadata - data about data - records created / managed by library describing the stuff • Integration of metadata • metadata indexes, OPAC, interoperability with other metadata databases • Matching metadata with user data • a view of the stuff which is more relevant

  24. Hybrid Library Themes • Interconnectivity and interoperability • Authentication and authorisation • Personalisation of the Information Landscape • Cultural and organisational issues

  25. Partnerships • Within the academic institution • Library and computing service • Library, computing service and registry • …and academic departments • Outside the institution • Other HE institutions and libraries • Other non-HE libraries • Data providers, system suppliers and publishers
