Publication The Global Dimensions of Scholarship and Research Libraries: Finding Synergies, Creating Convergence(Harvard Library, 2013) Hazen, Dan; Jakubs, DeborahThe Global Dimensions of Scholarship and Research Libraries: A Forum on the Future brought together faculty, administrators, librarians, and representatives from scholarly societies, associations, and funding agencies for two days in December 2012 to consider the future of research libraries and their role in advancing international scholarship and the globalization of the universities of which they are a part. The Forum, supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and co-hosted by the Duke University Libraries and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), covered broad ground. Participants considered shifts in the directions of research; the new global information pipeline; the tension surrounding traditional “area studies” programs and the transition to “global” thematic programs; the expansion and diversification of information formats and sources; and the challenges to libraries of new roles, demands, and means of access and discovery. The Forum synthesized trends in scholarly attention and in how universities are organizing to address overarching issues of relevance to more than one region, and the ways that research libraries are – or should be – responding to these changes. This preliminary report shares a vision of the new, broad-gauged information infrastructure and services that will energize scholarship on issues of local and international concern, now and into the future. Its recommendations are offered as a point of departure for discussions among Forum participants and other stakeholders, whose responses will inform a more comprehensive final blueprint that proposes specific strategies to address the challenges of locating and using global information. Consensus around a few overarching principles will thus lead to a concrete action agenda.Publication Lost in the Cloud: Research Library Collections and Community in the Digital Age(American Library Association, 2011) Hazen, DanDigital technologies, renewed attention to the purposes of higher education, and changing models for scholarship and learning challenge our historic understandings of research libraries and their collections. Common assumptions and goals are giving way to diverse local agendas, many of which also reflect increasingly limited budgets. Cooperative ventures are taking new forms as well, with straitened resources again the rule. Our adaptation to this uncertain environment requires research libraries to reconsider the elements that are now necessary for successPublication Rethinking Research Library Collections: A Policy Framework for Straitened Times, and Beyond(American Library Association, 2010) Hazen, DanAcademic and research libraries today confront daunting financial pressures. Their faltering budgets also compound an intensifying existential crisis resulting from profound shifts in information, scholarship, technology, and academic organizations. The purposes of collections are particularly uncertain in this radically fluid context. Analyzing the most salient elements in today’s collections landscape can help to frame the guiding principles that will inform adaptive new approaches to collections and content.Publication Among Harvard libraries - Harvard librarians abroad: The challenge of collection in an uncertain world(Harvard Library, 2004) Hazen, Dan; Hopper, Michael; Lum, Raymond C.; Riedlmayer, Andràs
