11:30-13:20

Intensive development and use of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) entailed a large-scale digitization of information accumulated by mankind and, accordingly, the creation of a large number of new electronic information resources. This new form of information representation makes it possible to produce, to store and to distribute information on a qualitatively new level. To ensure public (including remote) access to information resources has become one of the priorities for those providing service to science, culture and education. Today it is obvious that the most effective way to achieve this is to create digital libraries (DL), distributed information systems ensuring reliable storage and effective use of various collections of electronic documents (text, graphics, audio, video, etc.) via global telecommunication networks in a way convenient for the end-user. A Digital Libraries Discussion Group would facilitate discussions and link professionals with all issues on DL development and implementation. This group can also help the Section on Information Technology for planning future sessions for the IFLA Conferences around DL issues. Planning sub-groups are:
1. preservation and conservation of digital data;
2. digital collections;
3. DL research and technologies); and
4. international cooperation in DL issues.

102. Discussion Group on Reference Work

Theme: "Public Lending Right in the 21st Century"

15:30-16:30

14:00-17:00

Theme: "Collection Development in the Digital Age: Organizational Challenges"

The idea for this workshop came out of discussions in the Coordinating Committee. We wanted a theme that would focus on the introduction and integration of electronic resources into our library services and organizations. To address issues such as:

• The new demands on staff who select and acquire the information resources to serve library users, as we move from a print-centered culture to one that is increasingly based on electronic collections.
• How must we adjust our approaches to be effective in what is essentially a new business environment for libraries - one that is very different from the familiar world of print publishers, book dealers, and subscription agents - but instead is based on licensing products from entrepreneurial information companies sometimes with very little background in dealing with libraries, and perhaps little understanding of our mission and values.
• We also wanted practical focus on the immediate challenges ahead rather than a long-term view of how the digital library may ultimately redefine library collections and services. That kind of speculative forecasting is all well and good, but even if you accept the premises on which the predicted outcomes are based, they rarely tell us much about how to get from here to there. "Making it happen" has always been the role of collection development and acquisition librarians, and we will continue that focus in this workshop.

In the 80s we saw expansion in these directions and the advent of CD Rom as a major technology in the provision of electronic information. Through this period electronic information services complemented and provided improved access to print collections, but did not challenge them as a primary information resource. Libraries accommodated them for the most part within the context of traditional organizational frameworks and operational practices.

It was with the beginning of the world wide web in 1993 that the explosive growth in the availability of networked information began - culminating with web versions of bibliographic databases; abstracts and indexes; reference sources such as encyclopedias and directories; databases of all types -- scientific, economic, and demographic. Archival collections of poetry and other literary works. Almost no type of collection or informational resource is excluded from the web.

But the most important resources in terms of impact on library collections in recent years has been full-text electronic journals from publishers and aggregators, current issues as well as back files through projects such as JSTOR. And more recently the electronic book, a quickly expanding and aggressively marketed commercial product that has been heavily capitalized.

Added to the web-based electronic resources that can be purchased or licensed, of course, is the overwhelming abundance of free information on the web that can be harvested, evaluated, selected and organized for addition to our institutional electronic collections.

Taken together, these new electronic resources present an unprecedented opportunity to increase access to information, and expand services to users. At the same time they represent formidable challenges to our traditional library organizations and ways of doing business. A discussion of these challenges, and the measures libraries have taken to meet them, is the topic of today's workshop.

• Fiscal challenges, as electronic collections and the infrastructure to support them are not cheap, affecting our capacity to acquire print collections.
• They challenge our traditional principles of collection development - or more exactly, they create a new context in which applying the traditional principles is more difficult.
• They create a demand for new knowledge and skills among our staffs -- legal expertise, technical knowledge, negotiating skills - and not just in specialist staff, but in a wide range of positions throughout the library. New arrangements of staff to bring all the relevant skills to bear on the issues of electronic collections must be devised.
• They create a need to forge new partnerships and consortial agreements that result in working arrangements that impact the way we develop our collections.

First, Larry Alford, Deputy University Librarian at the University of North Carolina, U.S., will provide some general background on the issues from the particular perspective of a university research library.

Second, Jim Vickery, Director of Collection Development at the British Library, will discuss the measures taken at the British Library to integrate electronic collections into the Library's programs. Although the scale of operations at the British Library far exceeds those of the rest of us -- what they do at the national libraries has a profound impact on library services in a country, and we often look to the national libraries for best practices, not to mention that comforting feeling that there are libraries that face problems much more difficult than our own.

Third, Yasar Tonta, Associate Professor of Hacettepe (Hagettepe) University in Ankara, will describe the role that cooperative arrangements can play in making access to electronic resources more affordable to larger numbers of libraries. He will focus on the Turkish experience - their success and frustrations, but ultimately on the remarkable promise of consortial arrangements to expand availability of information.
