Students in many countries, especially the US and UK are concerned that the
growing cost of higher education is not delivering good value.  Excellence
in teaching and a focus on measurement and assessment of learning outcomes
have become entrenched in higher education policy and the strategies of
academic institutions. 

 

As a result library leaders around the world will need to become more
strategic in articulating value propositions based around a more holistic
view of library/learning resources. The value of data analytics will be a
key driving force. Data from reading list systems and digital textbook
platforms combined with information from other institutional systems will
allow powerful insights to emerge. Such analytics will be invaluable to
institutions, publishers and intermediaries as they look at new ways to
deliver content.

 

All this suggests a trend for library technology and educational technology
to merge. There looks to be the beginning of shift away from a narrow
conception of *library* systems, the *library* supply chain and *library
data*. Conventional integrated library systems (ILS) and even the new
generation of library services platforms (LSPs) remain wedded to an outdated
view of library learning resources and will have to change significantly or
be integrated or subsumed into a new generation of learning services
platforms.
