Jisc is collaborating with academic libraries across higher education to develop a library-centric view of its digital transformation framework. In this new piece for #CILIP's Information Professional magazine, Peter Findlay, Subject Matter Expert for Digital Scholarship (Content & Discovery) at Jisc, explores why a dedicated library focus is essential for digital transformation, and what lies ahead. Many organisations are experiencing rapid change in their digital practices. Taking control of these changes is often referred to as digital transformation and defined by EDUCAUSE as “a series of deep and coordinated culture, workforce and technology shifts that enable new educational and operating models and transform an institution’s operations, strategic directions, and value proposition.” Jisc has been developing this definition further, working with partner institutions to co-design an approach tailored to higher education and building on it’s 2023 Framework for Digital Transformation in Higher Education. 45 organisations, including #CILIP have partnered to co-design a library-specific lens on the framework.
