Planning our Scholarly Information Future

To implement the Scholarly Information Future strategy the University Library uses three levels of planning and reporting. Our decisions are guided by the 11 principles articulated in the strategy.

Library Strategic Implementation Plan: the five-year view

The Library Strategic Implementation Plan is derived directly from Melbourne's Scholarly Information Future.

The Strategic Implementation Plan summarises broad areas of change and development over several years. It offers a high-level roadmap of activities designed to ensure we achieve the eight aspirations articulated in Melbourne's Scholarly Information Future.

The Strategic Implementation Plan is reviewed annually.

Library staff can find a copy of the current Strategic Implementation Plan on the Library's internal fileserver.

Library Plan

At the start of each calendar year senior staff in the Library review the proposed activities and develop them into a detailed plan for the next 18-24 months. This becomes the Library Plan.

For each activity in the Library Plan an individual manager or director is nominated to coordinate work and report on results. Progress is reviewed twice per year.

A summary version of the Library Plan is available for downloading: it is designed to print double-sided on A3 paper.

Library staff can find the complete Library Plan on the Library fileserver.

Workgroup and individual plans

Finally, teams and workgroups within the Library develop detailed operational plans for themselves. These are based on the Library Plan and may also incorporate operational targets for established services and activities.

Local operational plans provide a framework for individual performance development plans.
