  • The Selection of Library Services Platforms Based on the Experience and Perception of Academic Libraries

    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Library Science submitted time 2023-08-27 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] Traditional integrated library systems(ILS)are being swiftly replaced by library services platforms (LSP). Many academic libraries across the country are in the midst of assessing their ILSs and looking critically at these LSP. However, the marketplace for LSPs is rapidly changing and it is hard for libraries to decide which LSP is the best fit for their institutions. The paper assesses the market and main functions of LSP products to date, and it is hoped that the study will be of use to academic libraries considering an ILS migration to an LSP.[Method/process] LSP is evaluated based on the survey data about the experience and perception of academic librarians overseas. [Result/conclusion] The number of LSP vendors are shrinking due to consolidation in the ILS/LSP market, and only Alma, Sierra and WMS are fully implemented. Moreover, Open source project FOLIO was announced to bring libraries another way. LSP, as a single, monolithic system, is not the answer. It is a loosely coupled platform-based library ecosystem model that will be the real "next generation" in library automation.

    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Library Science submitted time 2023-07-26 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] The paper outlined the system of learning support services of academic libraries and built a model accordingly, as an effort to better understand the overall structure and the operation mechanism of learning support services provided by academic libraries.[Method/process] It summarized the basic forms and the supporting elements of learning support services of academic libraries based on research and main functions. Meanwhile, it tried to build a model for learning support services of academic libraries by analyzing the operation mechanism of learning support services with activity as the basic unit.[Result/conclusion] Space, technology and personnel are the 3 supporting elements of learning support services, which should be aligned with the basic forms of learning support services offered by academic libraries-resource service and quality development. The various combinations of the 2 basic forms and the three supporting elements constitute the system of learning support services of academic libraries, and full integration is deemed necessary according to activity organization. Thus, the paper managed to build a double-helical model for learning support services of academic libraries, which displayed activity-driven subjectivity, nonlinear logical progression, synergistic support services, symbiotic and integrated development and other characteristics in its mechanism.
