LUND UNIVERSITY
The Network of Libraries – Pro & Cons
•
Cons:
– Not necessarily the cheap way of running
library services – on the other hand: The
libraries are providing a lot more than library
services
–
Not always obvious who is responsible for
what, can generate intense discussions,
issues can fall between chairs – on the other
hand: This gives opportunities for
entrepreneurship
19
LUND UNIVERSITY
The Network of Libraries – Pro & Cons
•
Pros:
– The decentralized structure and the close
cooperation & communication between faculty
libraries and the research and education
environment at the faculty level cater for lots
of ideas, projects for improved services, which
in turn inspires other libraries and the network
as such
–
Constant development and improvements in
services & applications based on input from
the faculty librarians
20
LUND UNIVERSITY
The Network of Libraries – Pro & Cons
•
Pros:
– The structure with the network of libraries is
very sensitive to needs and demands from
users (researchers, teachers & students)
– Being closer to the research and teaching &
learning processes give the libraries and the
library network opportunities to bring the
compentencies & knowledge in play to
produce ideas and proposals to make the
primary processes (research, teaching &
learning) more efficient and productive.

Lund University Open Access Policy
•
Resolution (taken by the University Board)
•
In order to maximize the number of open access
publications the Board of Lund University strongly
recommends that:
–
–
–
–
Researchers at Lund University, if possible, publish in
journals with open access
If no equivalent open access journal is available, researchers
choose a journal allowing parallel publishing/deposition of the
article
Transfer of copyright be avoided. As a minimum the author's
right to parallel publishing must be retained
Lund University work for the transition of scholarly journals to
a publishing model, where articles either are made freely
available to the reader directly or through parallel publishing

In conclusion
•
•
The new structure with a network of libraries is characterized by a
division of responsibilities where
– Faculty libraries takes care of the day-to-day library services
and due to the close relationships with their community can
be involved in other kinds of support to research, teaching &
learning
– The Lund University Library takes care of the Legal Deposit,
special collections etc.
– The Library Head Office concentrates on policy
making,coordination within the library network, development
and operation of digital library services
– The Library Head Office in cooperation with the Faculty
Libraries develops & provides applications and services for
the support for research, teaching & learning
The new structure has created a lot of dynamics and has
provided a lot of opportunities for forward looking library staff!
43
LUND UNIVERSITY
In conclusion
•
The new structure has made it possible to
–
–
Not only make the traditional processes of importing scientific
information to the university more up-to-date and costefficient
But as well demonstrate that the qualifications of library (and
increasingly other) professionals can add significant value
• to the important processes of dissemination and
communicating (”exporting”) the research results
produced by the university
• to teaching & learning processes by facilitating closer
cooperation between teachers & librarians
•
to research assessment & decision making
•
by raising awareness in regard to scholarly
communication issues in Lund & elsewhere
