  1. Open Library Environment Designing technology for the way libraries really work December 8, 2008 ~ CNI, Washington DC

  2. Overview • Project rational • Project assumptions and scope • Project timeline and milestones • Opportunities to participate • Q&A

  3. Project rationale • Current ILS products are inadequate. • Vendor consolidation constrains choices. • There is a growing need for library systems to interact with other enterprise systems. • Libraries need to control their own destinies. • Detailed rationale in the proposal document: oleproject.org > Overview > Full Project Descriptionhttp://oleproject.org/overview/full-project-description/

  4. Project starting point • Initial assessment of interest in libraries – early 2008. • Proposal development by a diverse group of libraries – April 2008 • The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation provided funding for the design project. – June 2008 • Project underway August - 2008

  5. Current OLE participants

  6. Project Assumptions & Scope The scope of the project has received much input and discussion. The current version is maintained at:oleproject.org> Overview > Project Scopehttp://oleproject.org/overview/project-scope/ 6

  7. Project Scope: Vision Flexible, adaptable, and community-developed software framework OLE Framework supports core business Transforms processes to power new services Strives to reach enterprise level interoperability 7

  8. Project Scope: Principles Supports a wide range of resources Built, owned, governed by the library community Developed using SOA, implemented with Web Services Adapt and integrate with other enterprise systems Interoperable 8

  9. Project Scope: Design Document Design document will address: Business Processes Architecture and Data Models Integration and Interoperability Data Governance and Security Discovery and User Experience 9

  10. Growing Participation • Additional libraries have expressed interest since project was announced • Requests for visitors, interns and collaboration on other grants reflects growing interest • Original and current participants: oleproject.org > Project Participantshttp://oleproject.org/participants/

  11. Timeline and Milestones - done • Initial group meeting and introductory SOA Sept. 2008 • Business Process Modeling training Nov. 2008 • Planning for regional design workshops • Formation of working groups • Presentations at conferences • Outreach to library directors, IT groups • Conversations with other projects

  12. Timeline and Milestones – to do • BPM design workshops 11/08 – 1/09 • Consolidate BPM input at meeting 1/20/09 • Translate models to SOA Spring 09 • Develop build proposal Spring 09 • Complete the design document 7/09 • Ongoing community input and feedback • http://oleproject.org/overview/project-timeline/

  13. Getting Involved • Success dependent on community ownership and direction • Chance to influence the design so OLE is more likely to meet your needs • Participation influences adoption of OLE • Chance to work with forward looking, high energy group with diverse perspectives • Opportunity to learn about emerging technologies for the library world and for higher education

  14. Opportunities for participation • Seeking participants for planning and build • Regional design workshops • Working groups • Professional events • Ongoing communication - website & listserv

  15. Design Workshops – Overview • Goal: Define library workflows which must be supported in the new OLE • 1 or 2 days each • Multiple locations • Overview of OLE Project • Overview of BPM • Small group work to develop descriptions of library workflows

  16. Design Workshops – Join us! • Open to those who work with ILS, have institutional approval and who will be active in discussions • May need to balance across functional areas • No charge/ pay your own travel • Workshop output will shape project design

  17. Workshop list on website http://oleproject.org/workshops/

  18. Working Groups – Overview • Focus on specific topics within project • Open to those who have expertise, are serving as representatives of their institution and are willing to be active contributors to group research and writing • Groups will post updates on OLE website Contact coordinator of group for info on that group

  19. Working Groups – Join us! • Project scope • Library workflows / BPM follow up • Build project planning • Project governance • Communications • Connecting with other projects • Others may be added as needed

  20. Working Groups list on website http://oleproject.org/get-involved/working-groups-join-us/

  21. A new way of working • New groupings that cross organizations, countries • Online, virtual teams • Complex information management • Multiple technologies • A chance to experience the research and working strategies that our faculty and students experience

  22. Wrap up Upcoming events and webcasts: http://oleproject.org/events/ Project website has up to date information: http://oleproject.org Questions? Comments? Contact: Lynne O’Brien, lynne.obrien@duke.edu
