Strategy Facets
(for an excellent hybrid ambience)
1. Value the Traditional Systems while Embracing
Technology for Development
2. Aggregation / Integration Strategies
3. Library Automation (integration of the traditional
library activities/collection)
4. Digital Library (creation of efficient information
systems using digital collections for effective
browse,
search,
retrieval
and
long-term
preservation)
5. OA Archives (pooling the intellectual capital)
6. Library Portal (seamless integration of the library’s
entire knowledge base—traditional, paper as well
as electronic technologies)
7. Consortium Approach to Library Resources
Strategic Planning
• How to map / scale (assess) the information
needs / requirements of the Organization
• How to Convince the Management
• How to Educate ! The Management
• How to build infrastructure – Planning, Execution
• How to Collect, Consolidate, Build and Preserve
Local Content
• How to build E-Resources / Published Content
• How to Educate ! The Information Professionals
• How to Educate ! The Users
