Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 The changing patterns of research and learning in higher education As part of a university or college, the academic library is not an end in itself. It supports research, learning and scholarship and has always had to adapt as research and learning behaviors change. In the current network environment, this change is uneven and poses great challenges for libraries. p. 11 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition (2003) http://www.oclc.org/reports/escan/

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 “Two proven innovation strategies are the common-course redesign strategy and the flex program and service redesign strategy.

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 “With a few important [ IT ] exceptions, these investments did not directly seek to reduce longterm unit costs and/or dampen spiraling tuition increases and, not surprisingly, did not do so whether or not they used technology to enable innovation. As a result, these “innovations” did not increase productivity but instead either added to long-term operating expenditures or proved unsustainable after the loss of special funding. p. 84 Graves, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX William.

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 “Currently in higher education, both on campus and online, we individualize faculty practice (that is, we allow individual faculty members great latitude in course development and delivery) and standardize the student learning experience (that, is we treat all students in a course as if their learning needs, interests, and abilities were the same). Instead we need to do just the opposite: individualize student learning and standardize faculty practice. ” p. 38 Twigg, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Carol A. “Improving Learning Educational and ReducingTechnology Costs: New Models Foreman, Joel. “Next-Generation for Online Learning”.

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 “Seamlessness The traditional separation of academic, leisure and work time is fusing into a seamless world aided by nomadic computing devices that support multiple activities.

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 The changing patterns of research and learning in higher education Currently, there are no settled patterns or standards. As well, the outputs of digital scholarship are often in complex and nonstandard forms. The academic community will need to develop a better understanding of ways in which scholarship and learning activities are created, used, reused and preserved in the digital environment. p. 11 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition (2003) http://www.oclc.org/reports/escan/
Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 The changing patterns of research and learning in higher education It is clear that a new ecology and a new economy for scholarly materials are being formed. In the past, the flow of research and learning outputs traveled through formal, linear publishing mechanisms. We are seeing the emergence of a variety of repository frameworks, metadata aggregation services, and richer content interconnection and repurposing that are changing how we think about data and its uses. p. 11 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition (2003) http://www.oclc.org/reports/escan/

Future PASSHE Academic Libraries & Collaboration [email protected] Richard Sweeney 973-596-3208 “As we look ahead to the twenty first century, we need to change our thinking about how to develop and structure library services.
