The OLE Project | Project Scope

  • The nature of scholarship is changing. Dissemination of scholarship is at a crossroads between traditional models of publishing and new modes which encourage peer to peer sharing. The roles of instructors and students are changing to a more collaborative teaching and learning environment. To date, libraries have been outside of these changes while observing much replication of effort; libraries see value in injecting services into these new modes. In order to remain relevant libraries need to be flexible, adaptable and efficient in meeting the needs of the users where they are.

The OLE Project | Assumptions

  • 5. Adopting a model of community-source software development and a technology infrastructure based on service orientation is, in itself, a strategic innovation for libraries and universities.

    • 7. Libraries need to be able to leverage a dynamic information environment to support the research and educational mission of their institutions.


      • In a rapidly changing information environment, we need to spend our time and energy on strategic initiatives.
      • Changes in the broader realm of publishing, information technologies, and mass digitization are key elements at the confluence in the next generation of research.
      • Library systems need to help researchers find, access, and use all types of information, in all formats, including original materials and special archives.
      • Libraries must respond to the dynamic information environment by re-engineering its organization and the workflows carried out by its personnel.
