For discussion, at the end or tomorrow. What we did, but first ... Theorems, for discussion, why not give away the outcome right away, i might not have enough time at the end..
Keyword is proactive
Depends on excisting level of innovations, and of IT mindset ...
For us certainly! It all seemd to fit into place in the right time
ubeing there is not enough, you need to generate traffic, interaction, make google work to keep up...
IN my organisation, and i will demo it later on, many arrange external parties to to the work they need done..., website, patient research database, questionairres I'de like to know if this is simular to your organisations? The amount of external corporate cms activity is an indication for the level of user-driven IT-development and support ( or the lack of it)
the first 15 days of 2013 I used these tools ...
The introduction of the HP IPAQ as standard mobile phone in hospital was a breakthrough. Doctors, specialist can be pretty independent, and IT standards in a large organisation can be pretty restrictive.. Anyone recognizes this? With this phone they were abled to manage things themselves, email became portable, accessible outside, schedule/calendar, and .... The web! Web 2.0 gave users even more control and creativity to make things work their way... This was the time of the so-called "pirate" era The amount of external corporate web activity is an indication for the level of user-driven IT-development and support ( or the lack of it)
and they can do almost everything, where they were dependant on IT department, web 2.0, Cloud services. The tools have become more powerful A smartphone can do things you needed special hardware & software for plus a programmer with skills. People feel anything should be possible
Because we could, because it was free, web-based, not within reach of ÌT, and we got away with it because it was the time to have change...
Feed this feeling of reset mindset , find out what it can do Lending out ipads Simpel, easy and cheap, using existing resources. We do not have a huge team or large budgets available for technical installations or development. The University of Groningen library is doing a lot and we work together on a good level, but this is something we started alone.
We included the invite to the loan project inside a library survey about mobile technology Copied the project from a German colleague Oliver Obst, Münster
A wiki, to share all info, apps etc
Personal: checkout & returning
Information & web Other excisting services they notice now too
Finds what you want it to do!
Besides the wiki, Keeping up Scoop.it
Before i will go in on futute issues for libraries regarding apps & byod ... Tablets, mobility, carrying, Next: back to fixed screen with gestures
ADVICE !!!! not just license
Technology seperates content from format, location and time. But at what point does the information "come in" Where does it come from? Apps are just another new delivery tool for information. That's where libraries should come in, make sure its done the right way, using the resources from the library, To get the information to the user, in a format he chooses, on a location he needs it, the moment he needs it.
IT refused to take this on, we just did Thats the reason it is good to sometimes NOT do things the corporate way, ... To get the corporate attention Because where information is involved we, the librarians should come in
Aggregator, without telling how! Simpel, easy and cheap, using existing resources. We do not have a huge team or large budgets available for technical installations or development. The University of Groningen library is doing a lot and we work together on a good level, but this is something we started alone. Uni & hospital cms not suitable How does that look? First impressions?
The idea of using this construction forromotion of MCG publications came with a request by a friend in Serbia, Belgrade, who had developped a number of RSS Feed Aggregators, 22 in fact on the most important medical topics and specialities, he was hosting them, they generated loads of hits all over the world as they were publishing current news and publications pn these topics constantly, a sort of content curation. His goals was to make this informatn more accessible for mainly the less developed countries to have quality selected resources constantly updating. He hosted those servers, but could not pay it anymore, and asked me to think about taking over, and find some use for it. After implementing some of them, i suddenly saw the opportunity to use it for the promotion of UMCG publications and news, to boost awareness of UMCG research
Features, what it does, daily basis, look around About: resources openaccess a focus point as well as Posters and Top25 selection Sharing, facebook, tags, library tools Archives, categories Stats, StatCounter as well as google Analytics Google me button
Wp installation one of our servers Feedwordpress, plugins
Rss aggregator, doing all the work , getting the feeds in, into seperate postings, with controls
Archive
Pending, drafts, scheduled
21 feeds imported
Google me, feedflare
Our repositories get good download figures and good search hits, but ot appears Wordpress is particilarly good serviced by the search engines too. Any reference to UMCG publications outside corporate is extra
Stats
Stats show what has been looked for, Where from and what rank the result hit was on google
2 more things to explain, librarx proxy bookmarklet & pubmed shared nstitutional myncbi and linkresolver top25 tag which gets me to Performance funding
Top 25% isi subject categories
Working with performance funding, bonus malus system
Disseminating your research output OUTSIDE the organisations, institutional portals is benificial! Linkedin, WordPress, Blogspot get amazingly good indexing by Google and others, you will generate Google Juice..
Last addition to this atUMCG is our latest project on Open Access posters via F1000.
One of the spin-off effects from our atUMCG project...... The Research Office & Press Office wanted to have their own Twitter account, but with our content! Translation

Theorem s
1You can change the way people look at the library by engaging in pro-active projects focussed on information workflow
2Libraries can play an important role in drivingtechnological innovation in your organisation
3 Lending out iPads to library patrons is the bestpr & marketing activity for libraries since the invention of "sliced bread"!
4Web Presence is not enough ... We need ‘Google Juice”! (free after Brian Kelly)

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 :-)http://www.slideshare.net/hblowers/reality-check-2010-5-trands-shaping-libraries

Goals• Learn from user experiences• Change of workflow in clinical, educational, patient-care & research setting?• Expand & share knowledge Apps & mobile devices• Learn what to digitize. Show me whats in your pockets!• Develop vision and policy on:• Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) &• the use of Apps
Do tablets change your daily work?• Workflow• Research• Education• Patient-care• Communication
+3 clear effects 1•Increase personal user contacts•Involved & kept in the loop on relatedinitiatives in the organisation•Huge impact of perception of the library •Positive impact on library staff itself!
+3 keywords 1•Information•Integration•Workflow• Personal

Summary• Promotion of scientific output is important, also outside your corporate domains• Its rewarding for the library in various ways to actively contribute & collaborate• Blog & rss maybe old school but used in this way, it can generate "Google Juice" & initiate awareness & constructive discussion in your organisation

It is clear that in an age where "interconnected"is the norm, any other approach not only limits your success, it probably excludes it! By Rurik Greenall From: NTNU University Library – a Linked Open Data Hub In: http://openbiblio.net/2011/09/08/ntnu/
