Top Trends in Academic Libraries
McAllister, A. D., Flierl, M., Caswell, T. R., Costello, L., Hall, A. R., Li, C., ... & Walker, G.
This article summarizes trending topics in academic librarianship from the past two years–a time of tremendous upheaval and change, including a global pandemic, difficult reflections concerning racial justice, and war between nation states. Rapid changes and uncertainty from these events have created a significant amount of shifts to academic libraries, higher education, and society in general. Such shifts have yielded new perspectives and innovations in how librarians approach delivering services, supporting student success, managing staff and physical spaces, embracing new technology, and managing data. This report attempts to provide a snapshot of developments worth noting.

ARL Comments on US Federal Priorities for Information Integrity Research & Development
On March 17, 2022, the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO) and National Science Foundation (NSF) issued a “Request for Information on Federal Priorities for Information Integrity Research and Development.” The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is pleased to offer the following comments in response to this request.
Aligning the research library to organizational strategy
Cooper, D., Hill, C. B., & Schonfeld, R.
The Association of Research Libraries and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries commissioned Ithaka S+R to consult with university leaders in Canada and the United States to identify their strategic priorities, to gauge their expectations of research libraries in achieving them, and together with our members, to determine what more research libraries can do to advance them. This report represents the findings of the consultations, as well as a summary of Ithaka S+R’s research on scholarship and Ithaka S+R’s recommended menu of opportunities for research libraries to achieve further strategic alignment.
The report findings are wide-ranging, sometimes hard-hitting, and are welcomed by our members. The report informs both associations’ strategic planning. In addition, each of the menu of research library opportunities identified by Ithaka S+R in the report includes an indicator of organizational alignment. This initial list of indicators is shared with an invitation for broader engagement by university leaders and the research library community to define those indicators of alignment with the greatest benefit to advancing institutional strategic priorities.

Academic Libraries’ Streaming Media Trends in the US and Canada
New Survey Results Available
Cooper, D., Ruediger, D., & Skinner, M.
Libraries are the major purchasers of streaming media for their universities, and they face numerous challenges meeting the growing demand for these resources from students and instructors. Understanding how libraries are currently responding to these challenges and planning for future acquisitions of streaming media are important for both university decision makers and vendors hoping to serve this market.
Today Ithaka S+R releases the findings from the most comprehensive survey to date of academic library streaming media approaches at four-year institutions in the US and Canada. The survey explored the range of vendors providing streaming media, acquisition models and licensing approaches, current and projected budgets, as well as libraries’ own digitization activities. Our key findings provide insight into how libraries’ streaming media strategies are evolving. Notable trends include:
- The impact on instruction is the top factor driving academic library decision-making related to purchasing and renewing streaming licenses.
- Streaming media is a growing segment of the library materials budget and is projected to double over the next five years.
- Libraries are not investing heavily in digitizing VHS tapes and DVDs
- Libraries in Canada and the US are taking a similar approach in their streaming media strategies, with a major exception being the extent to which their strategies evolved in response to the pandemic.
Decision making around streaming media licensing reflects the library’s prioritization of supporting teaching and learning in a budgetary climate defined by resource constraint. As streaming grows to represent a larger and larger proportion of library spending, libraries will need to articulate how this expense aligns with their institutions’ core pedagogical goals. Vendors hoping to thrive in this space will also have to demonstrate this alignment clearly to their customer base.
