Openness and collaboration: key strategies for the future

Over the last half century, perhaps more than ever, libraries have seen, and adapted to, changing times, changing trends and changing technology and faced new challenges posed by the digital transition. This strategy update discusses how Casalini Libri has also evolved – and continues to do so - in its role as bibliographic agency and specialist intermediary, alongside an international library community, providing expert collection development support in selecting and proposing quality content to libraries, as well as advocating for the needs of libraries and representing their voice with academic publishers from across Europe. As academic libraries adapt, innovate and even rebrand, using names such as Learning Centers, Learning Commons, and Information Services, to pave the way for the future in the ever-changing landscape of higher education, this update focuses on Casalini Libri’s efforts in the realisation of a new level of collaboration and exchange of expertise as the essential foundation for partnership, working together with libraries, consortia and publishers for bringing into practice innovative bibliographic management environments functional to preserve and unlock cultural heritage for the future, and to facilitate the widest possible discovery of, and access to, research content for a worldwide community.
