The Constant Innovator: The Academic Library as a Model of Change Management | Backtalk
En av våra utgångspunkter är att rummet, det fysiska biblioteket, kan kompletteras med det digitala biblioteket. Kanske skulle man till och med på sikt kunna tala om en ”interfoliering” mellan dessa. Utan att just här exakt gå in på hur ett digitalt bibliotek skulle kunna fungera, så är grundidén att ett sådant bibliotek skulle kunna organisera en rad resurser som bedöms vara av värde för elevernas lärande och som lätt görs tillgängliga genom samsök.

Det finns över en halv miljon appar att välja mellan i Appstore, och nästan lika många i Google Play, som Android Market heter numera! Så visst kan man väl behöva lite tips om vilka som faktiskt är värda att ladda ner? Här tipsar våra utbildare om några av deras favoritappar.

Libraries are joining together to save money and offer services to readers across council boundaries. Photograph: Adam Woolfitt/Adam Woolfitt/CORBIS The financial pressures facing libraries today are arguably the most challenging for years, with cuts and closures making the headlines. What is less evident is the way that libraries are tackling the challenges they face through radical new ways of working: merging services across authorities, forging new partnerships, and moving into community management. Peers and colleagues working in library services across local government represent a huge pool of untapped knowledge. Finding a way to access this knowledge is an essential plank in the foundation of a new age of libraries.

Editor’s note: This guest post was written by Richard Price, founder and CEO of Academia.edu — a site that serves as a platform for academics to share their research papers and to interact with each other. Almost every technological and medical innovation in the world has its roots in a scientific paper. Science drives much of the world’s innovation. The faster science moves, the faster the world moves. Progress in science right now is being held back by two key inefficiencies:

Before the grammar police break down my door, allow me to defend my use of “gamifying”. If “gamification” can have its own Wikipedia page , and no less of a respectable source than National Public Radio can use it , then I think I’m good. So save your vitriol for those using “cyberspace”. I mean, srsly. Librarian gamers have long worked to bring gamers into the library through such offerings as “game nights” at the library. But what if you could make using the library a game in itself?

Exploring WSD Discovery Layers While the central index is the heart of any WSD service, the discovery layer is the public face. So long as the results list contains a smattering of good hits, users’ responses to the WSD service are likely to be based solely on their experience with the interface.

YOUmedia Earlier this month, we covered the Fayetteville Free Library ‘s new Fab Lab , the public library’s plans to build a “makerspace” where library patrons could gain hands-on experience using 3D printers and other tools and could take programming and “shop” classes. It’s part of a larger movement to rethink and re-imagine what a public library will look like and what functions it will serve.

When I look back at the plight of American research libraries in 2010, I feel inclined to break into a jeremiad. In fact, I want to deliver three jeremiads, because research libraries are facing crises on three fronts; but instead of prophesying doom, I hope to arrive at a happy ending. I can even begin happily, at least in describing the state of the university library at Harvard.

So, it is time to tell the world what we are doing—hence the swopping of languages. “We” are the digital branch of Stockholm City Library, and we run and develop the digital library, as well various systems needed for the entire organisation. We provide 14 % of all the Swedish e-books, and we advocate user-driven innovation to improve and to develop new services.
