REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE
David Close (The Meaning of Revolution):
…the essential feel of revolution derives from its cataclysmic quality…
it destroys people’s security and unsettles their convictions.
Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions):
… the transition from a paradigm in crisis to a new one from which a new
tradition can emerge is far from a cumulative process.
Karl Marx (Theory of Epistemology/Theory of Ideas):
…Ideas do not exist on their own…they are real only when they are translated into action. Quantitative change and qualitative change.

PROGRESSIVE CHANGE
• All progress is based on a universal innate desire on the part of an organism to live beyond its income. (Samuel Butler)
• Those who speak most of progress measure it by quantity and not by quality. (George Santayana)
• Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be. (Kahlil Gibran)
Progress - movement toward a
goal
steady improvement

SOME DEFINITIONS
• Primal Innovationcreativity as first importance, as a fundamental component
of organizational and individual DNA
• Radical Collaborationdrastic or sweeping energy, and not Kumbaya
• Deconstructiontaking apart the axioms or rules, or the incoherence of a
concept, position or word
• Survivalnot relevance or impact, but persistence and adaptation

COLLECTIVE COLLECTION CHALLENGES
• Institutional identity, faculty acceptance
• Better sense of overlaps and gaps
• Financial restrictions, accounting systems
• Delivery mechanisms, legal issues
• Outreach/research support for faculty and students
43
![Page 44: SOMETIMES … A SCREAM IS BETTER THAN A THESIS KUMBAYA RADICAL COLLABORATION SYSTEMIC PARTNERSHIPS James G. Neal Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5514bd8855034640138b56d7/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
BACKROOM FUNCTIONS CHALLENGES
• System of “credits” for work done on behalf of others
• Standard definitions of good enough
• Budgets/funding streams
• Shared backend systems across institutions
44
![Page 45: SOMETIMES … A SCREAM IS BETTER THAN A THESIS KUMBAYA RADICAL COLLABORATION SYSTEMIC PARTNERSHIPS James G. Neal Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5514bd8855034640138b56d7/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
WHAT WILL SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
• Enabling pre-requisites; user buy-in
• Expanded collections and services for our faculty and students
• Co-investment in critical under-supported areas
• From me and thee to we
• Resolved governance, co-ownership, budgetary, legal, and institutional issues
• Shared measures for success and impact
• Additional partners, provide collaborative model 45
![Page 46: SOMETIMES … A SCREAM IS BETTER THAN A THESIS KUMBAYA RADICAL COLLABORATION SYSTEMIC PARTNERSHIPS James G. Neal Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5514bd8855034640138b56d7/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
SOME “AH HA” MOMENTS• Bringing two organizations together to perpetuate
traditional library models is not a goal but a dead end
• It’s got to be seen as being about more not less
• Enabling prerequisites for radical collaboration are key
• Appreciating cultural differences and need for face time
• Importance of trusted third party at the table
• Early wins are needed, not always in areas you expect
• Sometimes quick wins not possible, focus on longer-term benefits that will pay off

HOW DO WE FEEL?• Anxious - an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear
• Disrupted - interruption of normal course or unity, thrown into disorder
• Chaotic - state of utter confusion, unpredictability in the behavior of complex systems
“Our age of anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s jobs with yesterday’s tools.”
Marshall McLuhan
“One of the litmus tests is that a disruptive technology enables a larger population of less skilled people to do things that historically only an expert could.”
Clayton ChristensenThe Innovator’s Dilemma
“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.”Education of Henry Adams
