Why OLE?

Our current library business technologies cost too much and deliver too little. We need to rethink our services and workflows, and to use technology that enables innovation rather than locking us into the status quo.

Our library business technologies are increasing our

costs and constraining our activities at a time when we need

to be nimble and innovative.

We can do better with an Open Library Environment ~ OLE!

OLE Vision - functionality

• Flexible, adaptable and community developed software framework that supports core business of academic and research

libraries is capable of enterprise interoperability enables resource re-use, re-allocation and

sustainability for the future delivers full complement of services to provide info

management for libraries, researchers, learners aligns software, business processes and workflows to

support innovation and economy

Page 10: Lynne O’Brien

Where we’re headed• Final team meeting of

planning project – May• Identify Build Partners – Spring• Post design document – June• Final design document &

project report for Mellon Foundation and public – July

• Develop build proposal – June/July• Start development – Fall/Winter

Build Plan Timeline

Page 15: Lynne O’Brien

Build Plan• Mellon Foundation Matching Funding• Assume 5 – 7 initial partners for two years, then an

expanding network of contributors • Join an existing governance group, most likely Kuali, to

save costs and take advantage of successful processes• Use existing pieces where they exist

E.g., discovery layers, since multiple options exist• Two Year Timeline

• Year 1 Deliverables = functioning core of services and framework – the OLE Core & some components, e.g.: Management of Electronic Resources Services Peer Resource Sharing Services Acquisitions Services CRM – Client relationship management

Page 16: Lynne O’Brien

Build Plan

• Year 2 deliverables Integrations

• EDI/Local ERP• Discovery Interface (broker for multi-discovery use)• Data Migration Services• registries and utilities

orchestrations• define workflows to match relevant, local resource set• determine optimum dataflows including effort distribution and

sharing functional scope

• meet the business needs of a research or academic library• allow things to be turned off

“We’ll succeed in the measure that you are able to enlist the creativity of your colleagues in thinking through the challenges. This is our chance not to have this become a moment of inertia, the locking in place of a diminished status quo.”
