MOBILE (web) Apps

• Unified Resource Discovery Tools

• Linked data : Collections will be networked, interlinked and virtuali.e. Europeana

• Service Oriented architecture SOA

Discovery Tools

• Applications and software

• From monopoly to multiple

• Embed, integrate, interoperable

Into The Cloud!

New Digital Divide

• Those who know how to “think” about search vs. those who don’t.

• Those who know how to validate soft information vs. those who don’t

• Those who know where to find information in new “hot” channels vs. those who don’t.

• Those who understand the current culture of informal languages vs. those who don’t.

• Those who know how to get information to travel to them vs. those who still chase it.

• Those who have the knowledge and skills to create and re-mix digital media and those who don’t.

• Those that understand learning is a continual process vs. those that view learning as an achievement.

• (Those having enough power to their mobile devices vs those who don’t :-)

•The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators in sense-making, coaching, and credentialing.

•People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want.

•The world of work is increasingly collaborative, giving rise to reflection about the way student projects are structured.

•The technologies we use are increasingly cloud-based, and our notions of IT support are decentralized.

Summary

• Cloud computing• OpenSource software• Linked and enhanced data• Web tools for communication, collaboration,

interaction• Output Monitoring (scientific & social)• Mobile• Networks (social, virtual, research)• Virtual Research Environments• “Embedded library”

Summary (more key points for Libraries)

• Communication between staff and librarians

• Play a role in the exchange and sharing of research-based information in social network technologies

• Re-define the library, services, it’s systems, to reach: Visibility, Findability, Searchability and Accessibility

• Branding and marketing the library: embed & integrate

• Libraries should collaborate, communicate, cooperate, facilitate, support learning & research

there is no knowledge”
