  36. Key Performance Areas • Scholarly Communication and Research Infrastructures • Reshaping the Research Library • Advocacy and Commuincation

  37. Discussion in 6 groups 75 participants

  38. General Comments • People enjoyed engagement and would like to discuss progress next years • Positive comments on the general direction LIBER is going • Make a clear distinction between strategy, operational plan and organisational change • Current economic situation requires more library cooperation and enforces the need to make choices • There are too many goals. Prioritize!

  39. Other General Comments • This Strategic Plan often confuses strategies of its members and LIBER itself as a foundation • Clarify how goals will be realized (SMART) and that resources are/can be made available • EC projects: focus on projects that are supporting the strategic plan and not vice versa ! • Role of national libraries (and state libraries) not clear enough

  40. Other General Comments (II) • Plan is unbalanced. Not enough attention for role of library in education (e.g. Information literacy) • Heritage collections and Special collections not clearly present in the 3 Action areas • Existing groups could have been involved in drafting the strategy • Organisational change of Steering committees is questioned

  41. Other General Comments (III) • Aligning the strategy of LIBER with (partner) organisations around us (eg. SPARC, CERL, Eblida) • Balance needed between goals, voluntary effort of members and available resources in LIBER office • See that existing groups (eg. Architecture Group, Manuscript group) are embedded in the new structure • Articulate where LIBER stands for and present various choices as a logical consequence of it (e.g. Why newTEL, Europeana, COAR?)

  42. Scholarly communication and Reseach Infrastructures • Focus on research infrastructures = good • Why building new research infrastructures? Clarify this and evaluate results of previous projects • Data management issues also relevant at national and local level • Importance of metadata is missing • Single focus on Gold Open Access is questioned.

  43. Scholarly Communication (II) • Advocate massive digitisation • Heritage collections could be seen as a research tool and hence as a part of the research infrastructure

  44. Reshaping the Research Library • This KPA is too much a potpourri • Leadership Seminar should be priority • Data management central skill to support KPA 1 • Connect with library schools • Multirank study could be used as benchmarking tool

  45. Advocacy and Communication • Goals are unbalanced. Prioritize! • Advocacy needed on use of mobile technology • Translation into 20 languages questioned • Can LIBER support 25 LIBER ambassadors ? Resources? • LIBER should promote that directors stimulate their staff to participate in LIBER’s group work • Strategic plan requires a Communication plan
