Abstract:
The article describe Norwegian medical librarians thoughts about trends and future developments. Results from a survey among library staff in medical and healthcare libraries in Norway in June 2022 are presented. 
 Digital development, teaching and research support were highly emphasised, as well as the importance of physical library space, collaboration with own institution, and the library’s impact. Furthermore, the librarians also registered their competency needs within teaching and education, first line support, open science, evidence syntheses, and in cooperation and management. 
 Our project indicates that employees in medical and health libraries are aware of trends and competency needs. These competency needs are essential to be addressed to providers of continuing education in order to offer relevant library services.

Abstract:
Purpose – Leadership is always important but is especially important at times of rapid and even fundamental change. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and evidence the changes and decisions facing librarians in our world against the backdrop of international disrupted business models for libraries. The traditional mode of operation for libraries is changing dramatically in order to stay relevant and connected to our library users. This paper will aim to explore future leadership styles which will be required for special librarians. This will be set in the context of the NextGen Leadership program which this author established and conducted across Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. The paper will also seek to draw on the author's experiences seeking new scenario futures for special libraries in Australia. Design/methodology/approach – This paper will explore future leadership styles which will be required for special librarians. This will be set in the context of the NextGen Leadership program which this author established and conducted across Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. It will also draw on the author's experiences seeking new scenario futures for special libraries in Australia. Findings – The evaluation of the Next Gen Leadership program is reviewed in this paper. Research limitations/implications – The implications are that librarians need programs such as Next Gen in order to be able to test new ways of adopting management behaviours. These new ways of operating can be tested through programs such as Next Gen which operate over a lengthy period of time. Practical implications – It is crucial that existing managers of academic libraries establish these leadership programs into the future as a means of ensuring good succession planning. Originality/value – This is a genuinely original program spanning three countries/cities; Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. The opportunity for participants in this course to meet, inter-mingle and network into the future with similar colleagues is unique. The opportunities to test new modes of management in such a course, remote from the work environment, are of value to the management styles of each individual into the future.

Abstract:
Goal/thesis – to overview the development of school libraries in Vietnam, thereby drawing out the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges they face. Methodology – critical literature review and content analysis of source materials. Findings – revealed there are the disadvantages of school libraries in Vietnam including shortcomings with the lack of materials, poor infrastructure, the inefficient capacity of the school librarian, and the limited budget. The reasons for these problems are due to the misperception of administrators, policymakers, and society regarding the libraries’ role in the educational activities of schools; the library operating hours are not optimal; the low percentage of students reading books and newspapers (especially printed documents); the small library space; oftentimes the capacity of the librarians is poor, and, most of all, there is not enough budget allocated to libraries. Conclusions – recommendations are made toward improving school libraries in Vietnam.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected higher education and cultural sector, including libraries. Most of the libraries in Mongolia were physically closed for patrons. Librarians were suddenly tasked moving from in-person service into online and the Covid-19 pandemic affects policies, strategies, activities, behavior itself and the library’s future development strategy was not considering the effect of Covid-19. The aim of this paper is to explore how Mongolian libraries satisfy the need of their patrons in unexpected situation, such as Covid-19-induced transition to adapt to keep afloat, to identify the main issues that have arisen and make recommendations for the betterment of libraries’ role in such situations. To be more specific, we address the following research questions: To what extend Covid-19 affected library daily activities? Will the library service styles, perspectives, strategies, patrons’, and librarian’ attitudes change in the future? To address the research issues a quantitative and qualitative content analysis was used on a dataset created from a questionnaire survey and interviews from librarians and patrons. The aim was to find out whether libraries can meet patrons’ needs and if the staff is fully paid. Besides, the analysis covered such criteria as printed and e-book usage, internal and external online databases, other library services usage during the pandemic period, and positive and negative impact of Covid-19. The results were then compared to the indicators of the pre-Covid-19 period.

Abstract:
In the summer of 2023, librarian and oral historian Kae Bara Kratcha interviewed three oral historians about their relationships to libraries and their dreams for what digital libraries could be. Then they played portions of each oral historian interview for a digital librarian and asked the librarian to speculate about what their jobs and lives would be like if they implemented the oral historians' ideas about digital libraries. “Speculative Telephone: Oral Historians and Digital Librarians on How Libraries Could Be” is eleven edited audio tracks of wide-ranging conversation on topics like public space, online communities, library anxiety, relationships with library workers, the future of scholarly communication, creativity in research, finding cosmic purpose, telling stories with archives, when knowledge should remain ephemeral, artificial intelligence, and more. The oral historian and librarian narrators are as follows, in order of appearance: Chris Pandza, Justin de la Cruz, Tamara Santibañez, Sheila García Mazari, Benji de la Piedra, and Sean Knowlton.

Abstract:
Objectives: An important issue in the field of librarianship is what we will look like in the future. Prognosticators’ predictions range from doomsday to utopia. This poster seeks to identify what the perceptions of the future of libraries are from the published literature. The future of medical libraries in particular will be examined. Methods: This research will analyze the literature published in the field of library science. The literature will then be qualitatively analyzed to determine themes about the perceptions of the future of libraries and librarians. NVIVO qualitative analysis software will be utilized to analyze the data for themes and trends. Three coders will independently code the data. Results and Conclusions: A review of the literature paints a cautiously optimistic picture of the future of medical libraries and librarians. The general perception appears to be an ever increasing involvement in the community outside the walls of the medical library. With expanding collaborative technologies, medical librarians have both the challenges and opportunities to evolve to fill a great need in medical knowledge management and point-of care resources.

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses the problem of the «Digital Library» from the point of view of the «Traditional Library». The work comprises an analytical approach to the problem, being proposed a model for the «Digital Library» according to the perspective and requirements of the «Traditional Library» in face of the new emerging technological paradigm. This model is analysed for the cases of the specialized library and the deposit library, when facing the problem of the digital publishing. As a result, it is proposed a strategy for the deposit library based on the identification of scenarios and publication genres. As a consequence of this process, there were also identified and analysed new problem, such as the new concept of agent, the relationship of the concept URN identifiers? space with the problem, and the problem of the metadata. Metadata is now a new concern for the «Digital Library», from which results new requirements and scenarios raising the problem of the interoperability.<br>O trabalho desenvolvido nesta dissertação gira em torno do termo «Biblioteca Digital» e daquilo que ele poderá significar quando considerado segundo os requisitos da «Biblioteca Tradicional». O resultado consistiu numa abordagem analítica ao problema, propondo-se um modelo para a «Biblioteca Digital» gerado segundo a perspectiva da «Biblioteca Tradicional» quando confrontada com o novo paradigma tecnológico emergente. Este modelo é analisado para os casos da biblioteca especializada e da biblioteca de depósito quando posta perante o problema do depósito de publicações digitais, propondo-se ainda uma estratégia para a mesma baseada na identificação de cenários e géneros de publicações. Como consequência são ainda identificados e analisados novos problemas, especialmente os do agente enquanto novo conceito, a relação do problema com o caso do espaço de identificadores URN, e o problema da metadata. Conclui-se ainda ser esta agora uma nova preocupação na «Biblioteca Digital», de onde resultam novos requisitos e cenários que nos conduzem ao problema da inter-operação.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to provide understanding regarding the future of library workplaces by, first, establishing the relationship between Joseph Campbell's functions of mythology in traditional cultures and workplace texts, and then showing libraries as workplaces with such texts. With this framework in place, it is possible to pick-out the fundamental cycle inherent in library workplace cosmology, highlight pedagogical cycles inherent in library texts, and generate an informed understanding of future cosmological and pedagogical trends using educated extrapolation of such cycles. These steps all serve to lay further groundwork in understanding library workplace mythology and its sociological effects, and, using the relationship between ever-moving cosmological and pedagogical cycles, it becomes possible to form an educated picture of future library sociology. In the end, library workplace mythology has no new revelations about the direction of library workplace sociology, only new ways of dispelling predictions often made about the future of libraries and their workplaces. By looking at library workplaces as sites of mythology, this work offers expectations that the same cycles inherent in past and present library workplaces will continue to overcome changes in the technological, political, and social constructs of future library workplaces.

Abstract:
<p> This research highlights the scenarios that might serve as a strategic vision to describe a future beyond the current library, one which both guides provosts and creates a map for the transformation of human resources and technology in the university research libraries. The scenarios offer managerial leaders an opportunity to envision new roles for librarians and staff which brings a much needed focus on the development of human resources as well as a thought-stream to understand decisions which effectively and systematically move the organization toward a strategic vision.</p><p> These scenarios outline possible future directions research libraries could take by focusing on perspectives from library directors, provosts, and administrators for human resources. The four case study scenarios introduce potential future roles for librarians and highlight the unsustainability of the current scholarly communications model as well as uncertain factors related to the political, social, technical, and demographic issues facing campuses. Given the changes institutions face, scenarios allow directors to include more uncertainty when developing and articulating a vision. These scenarios may start a discussion, before a strategic planning process, to sharpen the evaluations and measures necessary to monitor achievements that define the value of the library.</p><p> This dissertation highlights the importance of research library managerial leaders developing a strategic vision and introduces scenarios as way to communicate that vision with provosts, the senior leadership team, librarians, and staff. How the library directors approach the strategic vision scenario provides insight into the challenges and barriers identified within the existing organizational culture.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate the development of Executive Information Systems (EIS) in twenty large British companies and to also determine what role, if any, the company library played. Also investigated was the future of the library and other corporate information systems as a provider of information services to business. A multiple-case study methodology was adopted for carrying out the research. Interviews were conducted with nearly 70 respondents; these included librarians, EIS developers and senior manager users of the EIS, and EIS vendors. All three corporate respondent groups have poor perception of Information Management policy, politics and culture. Most EIS are developed using prototyping or CSF method without reference to any frameworks or strategic business plan, and a lack of co-operation from senior managers. EIS are developed because of internal pressures. Their main use is as an operational tool and for monitoring/analysis. EIS has made managers more aware of information as corporate asset but few request improvements to the system. Most EIS are successful and percolate further down the management hierarchy, but they have not lived up to their original expectations. EIS impact on both the library and company is slight. Most librarians know about EIS, mainly by chance. Only four company libraries were involved in the development of EIS because most EIS are internal financial systems, and the library is seen as irrelevant. However, they are more likely to be involved if the library reports to a corporate strategy department, be physically near EIS teams, and personally know the EIS developers. Libraries are consulted because they are seen as extemal data experts; their main role is acting as external information consultants or as a conduit for external sources directly into the EIS. Despite many librarians being proactive many also have a pessimistic view of their future. They believe they are seen by senior management as increasingly irrelevant and targets for cost cutting, and as such few openly promote themselves within the company. However, the study also shows that librarians may have new roles to play as information becomes much more widely accessible in business through knowledge management technology such as Lotus Notes and intranets.

Abstract:
Multimodal displays that combine interaction, sonification, visu- alisation and perhaps other modalities, are seeing increased interest from researchers seeking to take advantage of cross-modal perception, by increasing display bandwidth and expanding affordances. To support researchers and designers, many new tools are being proposed that aim to consolidate these broad feature sets into Python libraries, due to Python’s extensive ecosystem that in particular encompasses the domain of artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial life (ALife) is a domain of AI that is seeing renewed interest, and in this work we share initial experiments exploring its potential in interactive sonification, through the combination of two new Python libraries, Tölvera and SignalFlow. Tölvera is a library for composing self-organising systems, with integrated open sound control, interactive machine learning, and computer vision, and SignalFlow is a sound synthesis framework that enables real-time interaction with an audio signal processing graph via standard Python syntax and data types. We demonstrate how these two tools integrate, and the first author reports on usage in creative coding and artistic performance. So far we have found it useful to consider ALife as affording synthetic behaviour as a display modality, making use of human perception of complex, collective and emergent dynamics. In addition, we think ALife also implies a broader perspective on interaction in multimodal display, blurring the lines between data, agent and observer. Based on our experiences, we offer possible future research directions for tool designers and researchers.

Abstract:
In the context of the activities of university libraries in Ukraine, the following concepts are considered: vision and mission, ultimate goal, strategy, strategic goals, and operational goals. To contribute to the formation and achievement of the "Vision of the Future of Education and Science of Ukraine", it is proposed to consider the integration of libraries into the international educational and scientific space as a process of mutual convergence and interaction in several directions. Firstly, the formation of competence profiles of university librarians in the field of information support for distance education, scientific communication and open access, and research data management. Second, the preservation of historical and cultural documentary heritage through the creation of digital collections. Third, the adoption and support of Open Educational Resources.

Abstract:
One common problem facing academic libraries is the art of materials selection that ensures users have what they need when they need it, or at least the majority of the time. Methods frequently used are librarian selectors, faculty selectors, approval plans, and demand-driven acquisitions. Having close relationships with teaching faculty is pertinent when acquiring monographs to support the courses currently offered as well as those upcoming. However, when that relationship is not strong, libraries must find other methods to gather that valuable insight. This paper will cover how East Tennessee State University’s library uses the curriculum process system to inform collection development to support future curriculum needs.

Band, Jonathan. Justice Breyer, Copyright, and Libraries. Association of Research Libraries, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.29242/breyercopyright2022.

Full text
Abstract:
On the occasion of Associate Justice Stephen Breyer retiring at the end of this US Supreme Court term, Jonathan Band, who represents and advises the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) on copyright issues, wrote a reflection on Breyer’s impact on the application of copyright law to libraries. In this brief paper, Band reviews Breyer’s majority opinion in Kirtsaeng v. Wiley (2013), which clarified that the first-sale doctrine applied to copies manufactured abroad, and the dissenting opinion Breyer wrote in Golan v. Holder (2012), in which the associate justice drew heavily on amicus briefs filed by the library community and provided language on the important role of libraries in preserving cultural heritage that can be cited in future cases. These two opinions, Band concludes, “reflect a deep understanding of the impact of copyright on libraries, an appreciation for the historic mission of libraries in promoting cultural heritage and making information accessible to the public, and an effort to apply the copyright law in a manner that does not interfere with this mission.”

Full text
Abstract:
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Research Library Impact Framework (RLIF) pilot initiative, established in 2019, has released its final report, Building a Community of Assessment. The report details the research projects, findings, and lessons learned conducted under the pilot phase of this framework. It also includes information about the framework itself as a means to explore and learn about research library impacts. Finally, the report identifies next steps and potential considerations for any future implementation. The RLIF provides a structure to examine library services, operations, impact, and alignment with institutional mission and goals across four critical areas: Research and Scholarly Life Cycle; Teaching, Learning, and Student Success; Collections; and Physical Space. The full framework includes 185 potential research questions across these critical areas. However, the framework is also meant to be flexible and modular, allowing for modifications and adjustments based on salient issues facing research libraries. In this way, the framework serves as a tool to organize and prioritize research efforts.

Abstract:
In early June 2021, representatives from a number of CNI member institutions gathered for the third in a series of Executive Roundtable discussions that began in spring 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 emergency. The conversations were intended to inform our understanding of how the pandemic had impacted the research enterprise and to share information about how institutions were planning to shape investments and strategies surrounding the research enterprise going forward. Previous Roundtables were held in April and September 2020 and reports from those conversations are available from http://www.cni.org/tag/executive-roundtable-report. As with the earlier Roundtables on this topic, June participants primarily included senior library administrators, directors of research computing and information technology, and chief research officers from a variety of higher education institutions across the US and Canada; most participating member institutions were public universities with high research activity, though some mid-sized and private institutions participated as well. The June Roundtable took place in a single convening, supplemented by an additional conversation with a key institution unable to join the group meeting due to last-minute scheduling conflicts. As before, we urged participants to think about research broadly, encompassing the humanities, social sciences, and fieldwork activities, as well as the work that takes place in campus laboratories or facilities shared by broader research communities; indeed, the discussions occasionally considered adjacent areas such as the performing arts. The discussion was wide-ranging, including, but not limited to: the challenges involving undergraduate, graduate and international students; labs and core instrumentation; access to physical collections (libraries, museums, herbaria, etc.) and digital materials; patterns of impact on various disciplines and mitigation strategies; and institutional approaches to improving research resilience. We sensed a growing understanding and sensitivity to the human toll the pandemic has taken on the research community. There were several consistent themes throughout the Roundtable series, but shifts in assumptions, planning, and preparation have been evident as vaccination rates have increased and as organizations have grown somewhat more confident in their ability to sustain largely in-person operations by fall 2021. Still, uncertainties abound and considerable notes of tentativeness remain, and indeed, events subsequent to the Roundtable, such as the large-scale spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in the US, have eroded much of the confidence we heard in June 2021, though probably more around instructional strategies than the continuity of the research enterprise. The events of the past 18 months, combined with a growing series of climate change-driven disruptions, have infused a certain level of humility into institutional planning, and they continue to underscore the importance of approaches that emphasize resilience and flexibility.

Motorny, Sergey, S. Glandon, and Jing-Ru Cheng. The design of multimedia object detection pipelines within the HPC environment. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), 2025. https://doi.org/10.21079/11681/49599.

Full text
Abstract:
Computer vision multimedia pipelines have become both more sophisticated and robust over the years. The pipelines can accept multiple inputs, perform frame analysis, and produce outputs on a variety of platforms with near-real-time performance. Vendors such as Nvidia have significantly grown their framework and library offerings while providing tutorials and documentation via online training and tutorials. Despite the prolific growth, many of the libraries, frameworks, and tutorials come with noticeable limitations. The limitations are especially apparent within the high-performance computing (HPC) environment where graphic processing units may be older, user-level rights more restricted, and access to the graphical user interface not always available. This work describes the process of building multimedia object detection and segmentation pipelines within the HPC environment, its challenges, and ways to overcome the shortcomings. The project describes an iterative design process, which can be used as a blueprint for future development of similar computer vision pipelines within the HPC hosting environment.
