NCSU Libraries to Help Develop Next Generation of Library Management Software

Summary:

In partnership with Duke University Libraries and select research libraries from around the country, The North Carolina State University Libraries will develop the next generation of software to manage the collections of tomorrow’s academic libraries. This partnership, funded by a $2.38 million dollar grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will bring together a community of academic libraries that want to change the way information is managed in an increasingly digital environment.

Large academic research libraries already use software to track many interrelated transactions, but today’s research library collections are rapidly evolving to include increasingly diverse digital materials. Ranging from leased electronic journals to digitized photograph collections, tomorrow’s management software must accommodate and leverage these fundamental changes. Research libraries are in need of systems that can support the management of research collections for the next-generation scholar.

“Based on the broad insight gained by OLE, work will now begin to create a next-generation library system that breaks away from print-based workflows and reflects the changing nature of library materials and new approaches to scholarly work.”
