A Case Study in the Evolution of Digital Services for Science and Engineering Libraries

Abstract: Building on experiences from earlier digital initiatives and partnerships, the University of Virginia has developed new services and forged new collaborations between traditional information technology and library units in support of changing approaches to science and engineering research and education. Over the past 4 years, the library has evolved through numerous service models, changes in institutional vision, and budgetary shortfalls and has emerged with a new understanding of where to invest resources an… Show more

“…But it also posed a new challenge: integrating multiple services, originating within different organizational cultures, into a coherent vision under the leadership of a professional still new to libraries. 8 By this time, the group included six library professionals (some with a focus on data discovery and management, some with subject expertise in education research), two IT professionals and three academic professionals: a statistician, an astronomer and a recovering professor (me). In short, we had a blend of experts, a scenario with potential for both exciting emergent properties and persistent divergent perspectives.…”
