“During  the  recession  there  was  a  reduc1on  in  cost  for  most  commodi1es  and  goods—with  the  Consumer  Price  Index  (CPI)  dropping  in  2009  and  only  increasing  1.6  percent  in  2010.  During  that  same  period,  serials  prices  con1nued  to  rise  at  well  above  the  CPI  (four  to  five  percent),  and,  against  the  backdrop  of  decreased  funding  for  libraries,  price  increases  are  very  hard  to  sustain.  Libraries  do  not  have  the  resources  to  con1nue  to  exist  in  a  world  of  ever-­‐increasing  prices,  nor  can  publishers  exist  in  world  of  no  revenue  increases.”

Agile  principles,  based  on  the  Agile  manifesto  OR    do  you  remember  the  librarian  2.0  manifesto?    •  Customer  sa1sfac1on  by  rapid,  con1nuous  delivery  of  useful  sokware  •  Working  sokware  is  delivered  frequently  (weeks  rather  than  months)  •  Working  sokware  is  the  principal  measure  of  progress  •  Even  late  changes  in  requirements  are  welcomed  •  Close,  daily,  coopera1on  between  business  people  and  developers  •  Face-­‐to-­‐face  conversa1on  is  the  best  form  of  communica1on  •  Projects  are  built  around  mo1vated  individuals,  who  should  be  trusted  •  Con1nuous  aTen1on  to  technical  excellence  and  good  design  •  Simplicity  •  Self-­‐organizing  teams  •  Regular  adapta1on  to  changing  circumstances  

I  will  recognize  that  the  universe  of  informa1on  culture  is  changing  fast  and  that  libraries  need  to  respond  posi1vely  to  these  changes  to  provide  resources  and  services  that  users  need  and  want
