  6. Action • Ensure that library collections and holdings are displayed in search results – e.g Google

  7. Another report from OCLC: ”Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition”,2003

  8. Three major trends identified • People are moving on from self-service to self-sufficiency • They are satisfied with the results they get from search engines • They want seamless access

  9. White Paper + Manifesto • It’s Time Again to Think about Resource Sharing • A White Paper • published February 2005 • A Manifesto for Rethinking Resource Sharing

  13. Manifesto - Principles • Users can choose from options • delivery format • method of delivery • fulfillment type • loan, copy, digital copy, and purchase

  14. Manifesto - Principles • Global access • Use both formal and informal networking agreements • Goal is lowest barrier to fulfillment

  15. Manifesto - Principles • Libraries and cultural heritage institutions • Resources from all types available • Expertise from all types utilized

  16. Manifesto - Principles • Reference service facilitates sharing • Use reference expertise to aid fulfillment • No findable object should be totally unattainable

  17. Manifesto - Principles • Offer service for a fee rather than refusing • Strive to achieve services that are not more expensive than commercial services

  18. The Manifesto - Principles • Fewer restrictions • Imposed only as necessary • Lowest possible barriers to fulfillment presented

  19. Manifesto - Principles • Everyone a library user • Registration should be as easy as signing up for commercial web services

  20. Spørgsmål til grupperne • Hvilke trends ser I som vil have stor betydning for fjernlån i de kommende 2-3 år? • Hvad skal der til for at opnå bedre fjernlånsservice? • Hvilke initiativer har I gennemført for at tilbyde bedre fjernlånsservice for brugerne? • Kan/er alle 7 principper i manifestet gennemført i jeres biblioteker?

  21. Spørgsmål til grupperne – fra Leif: Principper og retningslinjer for lånesamarbejdet mellem danske biblioteker, oktober 2001 kan ikke bare blive stående! Hvad så: • Ny hurtig opdateret udgave i efteråret – som intern styrelsesopgave ? • Et nyt udvalgsarbejde? • Udkast + indbudt workshop  ny udgave?
