Overview
The library and the network
The long tail and libraries
Network level

The balance between the library and the network moves to the network…
1. Resource sharing2. A&I and ejournals3. Time for the next step: the network

Why?
![Page 6: Libraries and the network platform: a new cooperative context Lorcan Dempsey 2006 OCLC/Frederick G. Kilgour Lecture in Information and Library Science](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5514e820550346935c8b5982/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Organizational redevelopment in a ‘flat’ world: from vertical integration to horizontal sourcing around shared processes
2. Long tail information infrastructure: building services for a network world
3. Focus on distinctive impact: build services around user workflow rather than expecting workflow to build around the library
Attention …

Ross Atkinson: The law of local access optimization
“Each service a library develops, every action it takes, every dollar it spends, has but one purpose – and that is to enhance local access to and use of relevant information. Any library resources used for any other purpose than the enhancement of local access and utility is misused.”

The long tail
Scarce shelf, spectrum or theater space drove behaviors
Locally assembled material available to local users

Libraries and the long tail dynamic
Aggregate supply?
1.7% of circulations are ILLs
Aggregate demand?
20% of collection accounted for 90% of use
(2 research libraries over ~4 years)
Each reader his/her book
Each book its reader

Libraries and the long tail?
1. The Library Long Tail is variably available to users.
2. Users are generally not aware of what is available to them (OCLC Perceptions Report)
3. A fragmented network presence: low gravitational pull
![Page 23: Libraries and the network platform: a new cooperative context Lorcan Dempsey 2006 OCLC/Frederick G. Kilgour Lecture in Information and Library Science](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5514e820550346935c8b5982/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

New cooperative landscape ..
1. What would it look like if more services move to the network level?
2. Create systemwide efficiencies and impact through shared platforms.
3. Focus on creating local value: mobilizing information resources in user environments
