At the TU Delft Library, we have made a decisive choice for digitalisation. This means that wherever possible we will offer E-only services. Only if digital resources arenot possible, will we also offer physical services.

NetLibrary Publishers’ Summit
I suggest that the key strategic challenge for information professionals is that many involved in shaping the future of e-learning do not see the relevance of our content and services to their endeavours. Rebranding is needed to transform “library” and “published” content into “learning tools”.

Imperative is to release value in the user environment
1. In the flow
2. Ensemble: recombinant services
3. Liquid linkable content
Workflow as ‘intermediate’ consumer
Search engine, CMS, RSS, download, …
No service is the sole focus of user attention
Plug into multiple channels for discovery, location, fulfilment, …
Gather, create, share Search, link, reuse,
analyse, chunk
