  7. Planning the Factories Some questions- Where? In the libraries- Who? Librarians Education technicians Multimedia designers 27th IATUL CONFERENCEOporto, Portugal, May 22-25 2006

  8. Planning the Factories - What?- Physically located in a library- Technology rich environment- Integrated into traditional library services- Access to full range of software- Collaborative learning and workspaces- Explicitly aligned with the institution-wide vision- Non-library centric involving other campus units- More emphasis on the creation of knowledge 27th IATUL CONFERENCEOporto, Portugal, May 22-25 2006

  11. Main Problems 1. It was not part of the Strategic Plan, can it works anyway?2. Creating change before, during or after the project?3. How many policies we have?4. We use no standards: Dublin Core, SCORM, XML… neither UPC templates5. Can we obtain the same results with a no-cost policy forever? 27th IATUL CONFERENCEOporto, Portugal, May 22-25 2006

  12. Conclusions 1. The scope of the university library is changing again. We must be able to create information, if possible as publishers, apart of the traditional services.2. We have gained some users that have never come to enjoy the traditional services .3. Creating a service like the Factory means an essential part of the effort of library staff. 4. Always there is the possibility to create materials following a line, a template; useful for the majority of our users. 5. Enthusiasm is not the main part of the success. 27th IATUL CONFERENCEOporto, Portugal, May 22-25 2006
