Redefining the research library model
• Physical collections are shrinking• Library as publisher• Manipulation of information resources
![Page 13: Natural selection in Libraryland – the changing landscape of the University Library](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816791550346895ddcc43f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Collaborating to reduce costs and improve quality
• United Kingdom Research Reserve (UKRR)http://www.ukrr.ac.uk/
• Shared cataloguing (yet again!)
![Page 14: Natural selection in Libraryland – the changing landscape of the University Library](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816791550346895ddcc43f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Shaping ethical and effective publishing

• Monographs at risk
• But new publishing models emerging
