No plan; no do.

Origin

National theme

Traditionally, librarians engaged in transactional service.


Many of us are beginning to engage in collaborative work.

Local need

At the beginning of a project

External partners may have

  • Expectations that are higher than possible
  • Expectations that technology does not allow
  • Expectations that do not coincide with strategic priorities
  • Expectations that are unfair

Librarians tend to have

  • Inclinations toward saying, "yes"
  • Inclinations toward gold-plating
  • Inclinations toward not expecting shared credit
  • Inclinations toward providing seamless (invisible) service

Resistance to adoption

Barrier

During and after implementation

  • Attribution
  • Publication
  • Conference presentation
  • Grant application
  • Funding allocation
  • Disruption
