Vision of our New Service Model • Libraries as a learning centre and a teaching laboratory and discussion space • With interactive electronic whiteboard • Use technology to serve students, e.g. wireless, RFID(Radio Frequency Identification 射频识别,俗称电子标签), video conferencing
Benefits of the New service model Spend less money using Document Delivery service Use e-resources and open access journals Use interlibrary loaning among branch library — less space for books, more space for learning common Use Student assistant or volunteers to manage the learning centre RFID self-check Volunteer program

Self-review guide(1) • Where is the Library now? (An analysis of areas for future development.) • Strength: spend less money, extend our service, provide collaborative activities inside the library or outside the library • Weakness: not enough space, resources and manpower • Opportunities: better use of technology • Threats: not enough readers, not enough donors, decreasing number of students
Self-review guide(2) • What should the Library do next? (The plans of action for improvement and sustainability.) • Investigate the possibility of new management approach in better utilizing library manpower and unemployed or volunteers • Look for possible donors/alumni/faculty • How will this be measured, and against which benchmarking standards? • Set up OA committee to review the service including student, faculty, librarian
Critical success factors • Service quality: obtain good user feedback • Human resources: leadership, cooperation with other departments, support from the top management • Review and feedback: positive feedback from donors/users • Access & Resources: availability of resources needed by the University in a few days • Infrastructure for internet access/technology
