Summary:

Cutting-Edge Research in Developing the Library of the Future explores examples of exciting new library services and workflows for the library profession to model and adapt to their own communities and patrons. Included are studies that combine data mining and business intelligence metrics to predict future trends and behaviors, an examination of new services related to the proliferation of mobile devices among patrons, and studies devoted to the employment of the Web and the relation of the library's website to its environment and the use of a content strategist in the design of the library site. New technologies are also considered, such as producing videos that can be used by the academic library for marketing, instruction, navigation, and reaching patrons in social media sites and incorporating mobile information technologies in libraries. Overviews are provided for how to manage electronic resources in a digital campus environment and how they affect organizational structure, workflows, and training. Finally, the concept of linked open data (LOD) and how it has transformed library workflows, staff expertise, and traditional metadata creation is examined. All of these examples of futuristic and exciting new library services and workflows provide opportunities and experiences that the rest of the library profession can model and adapt for their own particular communities and patrons.
