2. Change in University education
New models for tertiary education
How trends in technology, tuition costs, skills demand, demography and internationalisation etc, may drive changes in business models and delivery models.

3. Change in user behaviour
Online users interact with library-related services
Expansion of:
range of digital assets (whether collection is for purchase, for subscription, or for free);
range of services;
user preference online everywhere (different devices)
UX goes beyond simple usability studies. Librarians need to understand their users holistically and think of the life of library in the user as opposed to user in the library of the librarian.

4. Change in Library search
Global search engine
Whilst specialised tools are valued, the global search engines (and especially Google) are the benchmark.
Discovery tools
Unified search. Local collection search needs to be uni ed, not only across print and electronic, but also across curatorial silos (archives, museums, special collections, repositories, and research data stores).

5. Change in collection development and management
Management issues for building the future academic library
Digitalization
Budget cutbacks, consortia
Next generation library systems ==> standardization of data formats and workflows
Linked Open Data: interoperability and integration of data (going beyond mere catalogue records)
Long term preservation - hosting services like Portico and/or LOCKSS

6. Change in Library organization and policies
New organizational models, to enable innovation, collaboration, and transitional changes
Reorganization of the libraries
Staff (re)education
Shared Integrated Library System among academic libraries
The impact of academic libraries to the university community and beyond
Advocate the value and relevance of academic libraries in higher education
Engaging and partnering with users to co-create Library services

7. Library should empower user
Supporting student learning and success through embedding library services into the curriculum
Enhancing collaborative information literacy programme among academic libraries
Recognising out of classroom learning: how can information literacy classes interaction time be recognised in academic or co-curricular activities.

8. Open Science, Open access and research data
Supporting research which encompasses a range of issues: linked data, research support skills, managing data, open data, open access, measuring impact.
European open science cloud
Open data: extended library roles and functions into developing data centric domain information infrastructure
Open access transformation ==> article processing charges, offsetting models etc. vs subscription models
Research support services, including Impact Factor analysis, emerging topic detection, competition & collaboration analysis
ORCiD as the common researcher identifier

9. Research outputs
Making research outputs available is a major mission for Uzbekistan research funders to benefit students and the public as well as researchers.
What research content should your online services help them access?
