Value of Virtual Research
Environments

   Fosters collaboration & communication between
    researchers
   Provides a platform where various online tools can be
    plugged in
   Fosters information/knowledge sharing between
    researchers
   Fosters scientific workflow in a research project
   Enables the research process cycle
   Helps document/archive the research process more
    thoroughly
The Future

   Everything Mobile?
   Everything hosted in the Cloud?
   QR Codes
   More integration of Web 2.0 tools with each other
    and with traditional library systems (using all kinds
    of Apps)
   Cataloguing Blogs, Wikis and other Web 2.0 tools
   More involvement in virtual worlds
Everything Mobile?

Cloud Computing

   What is cloud computing?
    Cloud computing refers to web-based applications.
    Instead of downloading software and applications, you
    access them through your web browser.
    e.g. Google Apps
   Many organizations are turning to cloud computing for
    HR, accounting, and CRM (Customer Relationship
    Management) applications and are already using cloud
    computing.
Cloud Computing

    In other words cloud computing is a general term for
     anything that involves delivering hosted services
     over the Internet.
    A public cloud sells services to anyone on the
     Internet. (Currently, Amazon Web Services is the
     largest public cloud provider.)
    A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data
     center that supplies hosted services to a limited
     number of people

The Future: QR Codes




                                   (How to generate and read QR code by inju on Flickr)


A QR Code is a matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by
mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black
modules arranged in a square pattern on white background. The information
encoded can be text, URL or other data. (Wikipedia)
Increasing Integration of tools
into Library Web Page
Integration of Twitter in Facebook
Integration of LinkedIn in Facebook
Conclusion

Libraries currently find themselves in an environment where the
focus is on collaboration, participation, interaction, connection,
transparency and real-time delivery of information. At the same
time libraries are faced with economic constraints, because of the
economic downturn. Web 2.0 tools can address these issues.

Library clients on the other hand are increasingly using web 2.0
tools to socialize, work, play, interact, network, search for
and share information, and to do research etc.

Lets get posting, tweeting, blogging, glogging, social networking,
Skyping, chatting, playing, collaborating etc. to reach our clients
where they‟re at!
