Stanford University Libraries Redesign Report
Scope Of Report
The submission of this report represents the
completion of Phase I of the multi-phased project
to reengineer technical services processes. The
report recommends a conceptual redesign based on
reductions in numbers of transactions and in
costs per transaction[1].
It purposely presents neither an organizational
redesign nor a clear reallocation of work across
library boundaries. The needs and issues arising
in our community debate of conceptual redesign
will engage the entire organization in Phase 2,
which will include how to shape the organization
to most efficiently manage the newly designed
processes.
Some subsets of technical processing are excluded
from the transaction counts, costs, and potential
cost savings presented in this report: government
document depository materials, special
collections materials, gifts and exchange, music
materials, and maps. For further elaboration, see
Appendix 1.
