A Bridge to the Future: Observations on Building a Digital Libra. Page 2 of 5 A Bridge to the Future: Observations on Building a Digital Library Goals and Considerations While our libraries will have both print and digital resources, the DLI’s goals focus on developing a user-centered information technology infrastructure across all university libraries (currently 14 physical buildings on 3 campuses). This includes designing more effective services that capitalize on technology; acquiring, organizing, and disseminating highquality digital content; creating new multimedia content with other faculty colleagues; experimenting with digital preservation; and continually assessing and evaluating the impact of information technology, making appropriate changes in the provision of services and information resources.

In the first years of the DLI, the libraries have made much progress in implementing more effective user services with technology. Organizational Structure. s1-7.pdf (application/pdf Object) Library infrastructure. The success criterion is that DEF ensures that all DEF libraries reach a uniform technological level which creates consistency between the systems so that technical interfaces are adhered to, technical standards are observed and common technological tools such as portal-toolkit are applied.

Technology Organisation TechnologyIn order to optimise user access to the libraries’ resources, the DEF project and the DEF libraries/the information institutions must together ensure an optimal exploitation of the: financial resources technical resources and competencies technical standards and interfaces common system facilities and competencies common electronic information resources. As regards technology, DEF considers it important to guarantee an IT level as uniform as possible in the DEF libraries/information institutions, as well as ensure the continued technical management and further development in the DEF co-operation also beyond 2002.

ACRL/LLAMA Guide for Architects and Librarians. Academic Library Building Design: Resources for Planning Joel Street Library, Princeton University 2012 Welcome Welcome to Academic Library Building Design: Resources for Planning. In response to frequent inquiries for information about planning academic library buildings, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) have joined forces to provide a basic framework for architects, planners, and librarians embarking on the planning and design of libraries for higher education.

We hope you find this Guide useful. Introduction College and research libraries present increasingly complex challenges based on: Initial Considerations To begin the work of designing new library space, there are several important documents and resources that planners may wish to review.

By now many corporations including libraries routinely scan for mentions of themselves on the internet. The number one free tool used is of course Google alerts, but with the rise of real time searches and microblogging, attention has turned towards scanning for Tweets. In this post, I will share with you some of my experiences doing so called "environmental scanning" using free tools. The examples will be more impressive if I actually showed some real examples, but I felt that while such tweets are public, I am still uncomfortable putting a spotlight on them, so I will not link to those tweets.

Your experience using the ideas here will vary depending on size of institution, penetration rate of Twitter etc . For comparison purposes, NUS Libraries serves about 36K FTE (students and staff), and the most popular twitter account has over 500 followers. Tweet scanning Therefore tweets that say NUS libraries are not the same as tweets that say NUS library . I can think of two ways. Mozilla Firefox. What we do: Library cataloging software, ITS.MARC, BiblioFile, M. The State of Linked Data in 2010. In May last year we wrote about the state of Linked Data, an official W3C project that aims to connect separate data sets on the Web. Linked Data is a subset of the wider Semantic Web movement, in which data on the Web is encoded with meaning using technologies such as RDF and OWL.

The ultimate vision is that the Web will become much more structured, which opens up many possibilities for "smarter" Web applications. At this stage last year, we noted that Linked Data was ramping up fast - evidenced by the increasing number of data sets on the Web as at March 2009. Fast forward a year and the Linked Data "cloud" has continued to expand. Governments Get on Board The most high-profile usage of Linked Data over the past year has come from two governments: the United States and United Kingdom. The U.S. was first to open up some of its non-personal data for use by developers, with the May 2009 launch of Data.gov. Following on from the launch of Data.gov.uk, U.K. Commercial Applications.

As a follow up to my last post I added a script to my fork of Aaron’s py-flarchive that will load up a Redis instance with comments, notes, tags and sets for Flickr images that were uploaded by Brooklyn Museum. The script assumes you’ve got a snapshot of the archived metadata, which I downloaded as a tarball. It took several hours to unpack the tarball on a medium ec2 instance; so if you want to play around and just want the redis database let me know and I’ll get it to you. Once I loaded up Redis I was able to generate some high level stats: images: 5,697authors: 4,617tags: 6,132machine tags: 933comments: 7,353notes: 963sets: 141 Given how many images there were there it represents an astonishing number of authors: unique people who added tags, comments or notes.

Hypercities. The Modigliani Test for Linked Data: Results. In a recent post, I outlined a kind of layman's test for the Semantic Web.

I wrote that the tipping point for the Semantic Web may be when anyone can query a set of data about a historical figure and get a long list of structured results in return. I called this 'The Modigliani Test,' after my favorite artist Amedeo Modigliani. To pass this test, you must deliver - using Linked Data - a comprehensive list of locations of original Modigliani art works around the world. A developer named Atanas Kiryakov gave the test a good crack. In doing so, he illustrated the core issues facing the Semantic Web currently.

The challenge of this test is that there isn't currently enough linked data on the Web about Modigliani. Also the key data in this test is the locations of art works, which probably isn't one of the main data fields for art data when it's uploaded to the Web (artist name and art work title would be the two key data fields). The Current State of Linked Data Queries Much Work to Be Done. NetBooks 2010 - TopTenREVIEWS. With the continuous waterfall of tablets, you may not see the need for a netbook. But these mini laptops are a great tool for general internet browsing and working with Microsoft Excel and Word. Plus, with their small price tags, netbooks are great computers for students that keep the traditional keyboard and monitor combo. Netbooks are small and affordable, and they are a great way to entertain the kids during long car rides. In the past few years, the introduction and proliferation of tablets has inspired netbook manufacturers to start implementing touchscreens and detachable keyboards.

This type of netbook will amplify your experience by letting you forgo the traditional mouse and keyboard setup and use your netbook as a tablet as well. Netbooks use the same hard drives as larger laptops, but many lose the optical drive. Netbooks: What to Look For Netbooks aren't meant for everyone, but these mini laptops maintain some quality features that are great for specific uses. Liverpool Echo.co.uk - Liverpool FC - News - COMMENT: Liverpool.

Apr 30 2010 by James Pearce , Liverpool Echo TRY telling Steven Gerrard this was only the consolation cup. Try telling Jamie Carragher the Europa League isn’t worth winning. As Liverpool’s players lay prostrate on the Anfield turf after 120 energy-sapping minutes last night they had to come to terms with the gut-wrenching agony of a European semi-final exit. The competition that was supposed to offer salvation of sorts at the end of a desperate campaign ultimately only provided yet another crushing disappointment. The Europa League may be the poor relation but it still matters and this hurt. The fact is the likes of Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano, Dirk Kuyt, Yossi Benayoun and Lucas still have no medals to show for their tireless efforts in red. Among the current crop only Gerrard, Carragher and Pepe Reina have won silverware with the club. What’s clear is that the barren spell isn’t likely to be ended until there is some serious investment in a squad which clearly lacks depth.
